Long-Term Pediatric Outcomes of Simultaneous vs. Sequential Liver-Kidney Transplantation: A Review of the UNOS Database
*Purpose: The long-term pediatric outcomes of simultaneous liver-kidney (SLK) transplantation and sequential liver and kidney transplantation, liver after kidney (LAK) and kidney after liver (KAL),…2020 American Transplant Congress
Effects of Donor Specific Antibodies in Intestinal/Multivisceral Transplant Recipients
1University Health System, San Antonio, TX, 2Nebraska Medicine, Omaha, NE
*Purpose: Evaluate the effects of donor specific antibodies (DSAs) on outcomes in post-intestinal/multivisceral (MV) transplant patients and describe the presentation of DSAs post-transplant.*Methods: This single-center…2020 American Transplant Congress
Role of B-Cell Subsets in Allograft Rejection in Intestinal Transplantation
Transplant Institute, MedStar Georgetown University, Washington, DC
*Purpose: While B-cells contribute to allograft rejection by presenting antigens to T-cells and by producing donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) and various cytokines, their pathophysiology in transplant…2020 American Transplant Congress
Trends in Intestinal and Multivisceral Transplantation in the United States over 30 Years
*Purpose: We describe trends in intestinal transplantation use and outcomes over time in the USA.*Methods: We use the cohort of intestinal and multivisceral transplants 1990-2019…2020 American Transplant Congress
Role of APC Subsets in Rejection and Graft-Versus-Host-Disease in Intestinal Transplantation
Transplant Institute, MedStar Georgetown University, Washington, DC
*Purpose: Intestinal transplantation (ITx) is arguably the most immunogenic and complex organ transplantation, often accompanied with high rates of allograft rejection (AR) and graft-versus-host disease…2019 American Transplant Congress
Measuring and Monitoring Disparities in Access to Kidney Transplantation Associated with Being Listed for a Multi-Organ Transplant (MOT)
*Purpose: In 2018, the OPTN published a new methodology for measuring and monitoring disparities in access to deceased donor kidney (KI) transplantation (Tx) among kidney-alone…2019 American Transplant Congress
Visceral Arterial Embolization – An Important Tool For Managing Blood Loss In Multivisceral Transplant Candidates With Portomesenteric Thrombosis
Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC
*Purpose: Organ explant in multivisceral transplant (MVT) candidates is technically demanding associated with high volume blood loss. Visceral arterial embolisation (VAE) may reduce bleeding, but…2019 American Transplant Congress
Deceased Donor Vascularized Abdominal Wall Allograft Procurement – Lessons Learned from Early Experiences
Abdominal Transplant Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC
*Purpose: Vascularized abdominal wall allografts (AWA), which protect solid organs in patients with loss of abdominal domain or extensive abdominal wall damage, remain an essential…2018 American Transplant Congress
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…
