Human Pancreatic ECM Scaffolds for Islet Culture and Transplantation
Extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an important role through structural and biochemical interaction with cells. Tissue-specific ECM, attained through decellularization (decel), has been proposed in many…2018 American Transplant Congress
Consequences of Being Listed at a Small Pancreas Program
How pancreas transplant center (PTC) volume affects patient outcomes after listing is unclear. Low volumes may lengthen waiting times or limit access to transplantation. We…2018 American Transplant Congress
Enteric Conversion after Bladder-Drained Pancreas Transplantation: The Wisconsin Experience
Surgery, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI.
INTRODUCTION: In the early experience of pancreas transplantation, bladder drainage was favored. However, this often caused metabolic and infectious complications that necessitated conversion to enteric…2018 American Transplant Congress
Stress-Related Exosomal MicroRNA Biomarkers Released by Human Islets during Transplantation
1Baylor Scott & White Research Institute, Dallas; 2Baylor Simmons Transplant Institute, Dallas.
Purpose: Pancreatic islets release noncoding microRNAs (miRNAs) upon damage and stress during islet transplant procedures. In this study, we sought to identify miRNAs released by…2018 American Transplant Congress
Isolated Pancreas Transplantation: Does Rank List Position Matter for Imported Grafts?
Surgery, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI.
INTRODUCTION: Pancreata are frequently not recovered or are discarded, resulting in a very low national utilization (~15%). There are many reasons why a transplant center…2018 American Transplant Congress
Addressing the “Crisis” in Pancreas Transplant Volume Using a Multidisciplinary Approach
Surgery, University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD.
Background: Due in part to the recently revised pancreas allocation system, patients who are listed for simultaneous pancreas and kidney (SPK) transplantation can be transplanted…2018 American Transplant Congress
Insulin Use on Intensive Care Units as a Marker of beta-Cell Death in Brain Dead Pancreas Donors
IntroductionObjective methods for assessing the quality of pancreata for transplantation are urgently required. Donors after brain death (DBD) experience a catecholamine storm and systemic inflammation,…2018 American Transplant Congress
Peri-Transplant Glycaemic Control as a Predictor of Pancreas Transplant Survival
Introduction: The impact of peri-transplant glycaemic control on outcomes after pancreas transplantation is unknown. Our aims were to relate peri-transplant glycaemic control to survival and…2018 American Transplant Congress
Pancreatic Graft Loss after Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney (SPK) Transplant within First 90 Days. Predictors beyond the Surgical Cause. A UNOS/OPTN Data Analysis
Multi-Organ Transplantation Unit, University of Western Ontario, London, ON, Canada.
Background: Data on causal effects of variables to predict the early pancreatic graft loss in first 90 days is limited.Aim: To predict the early pancreatic…2018 American Transplant Congress
Increased Risk of Early Graft Loss in Pancreas Transplant: A Retrospective Review of the UNOS Database
Introduction: Pancreas transplant is an established cure for Type 1 diabetes. Nonetheless, early graft loss is not infrequent. We sought to analyze all of the…
