A Propensity Matched Survival Analysis: Do Simultaneous Liver-Lung Transplant Recipients Need a Liver?
1School of Medicine, Duke University, Durham, NC; 2Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC.
Objective: There is debate whether simultaneous lung-liver transplant (LLT) long-term outcomes warrant allocation of two organs to a single recipient. We hypothesized that LLT recipients…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Protective Effect of Multivisceral Transplantation on Intestinal Allograft Rejection – Its Correlation with T-Cell Macrochimerism from a Long-Term Prospective Study
Objective Graft rejection remains the crux of intestinal transplantation. Although liver-inclusive grafts appear to be protective, the mechanism remains unknown. We hypothesize that T-cell macrochimerism…2018 American Transplant Congress
