Refinement of an Old Faithful: A Standardized Flow Cytometry Approach to Measure Donor-Recipient Alloreactivity (a Pilot Study).
Purpose: Donor-specific antibody (DSA) and antibody (Ab)-mediated rejection are challenges in long-term outcomes and limit re-transplantation. Sensitizing events such as homografts in surgical procedures, assist…2017 American Transplant Congress
Rabbit Anti-Human Thymocyte Immunoglobulin (rATG) for Rescue Treatment of Chronic Antibody-Mediated Rejection (cAMR) After Pediatric Kidney Transplantation.
Pediatric Nephrology, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany
Background. Chronic antibody-mediated rejection (cAMR) is the leading cause of long-term graft loss after kidney transplantation. Treatment guidelines include rituximab, immunoadsorption, immunoglobulins and/or bortezomib, but…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Use of Thromboelastography (TEG) in Preoperative Pediatric Liver Transplantation to Predict Postoperative Thrombotic Complications.
Introduction: Little data exists in the use of thromboelastography (TEG) in pediatric liver transplantation. In 2011 we implemented pre-transplant TEGs for patients listed for liver…2016 American Transplant Congress
Barriers to Living Donor Kidney Transplant in the Pediatric Population.
Objective:A shift from living donor transplants to deceased donor transplants has been noted nationwide and is more prominent at some centers than others. Our objective…2016 American Transplant Congress
Outcome of Partial Reconstruction of Multiple Hepatic Arteries in Pediatric Living Donor Liver Transplantation Using Left Lateral Section Grafts.
In pediatric end-stage liver disease patients, the use of partial liver grafts from adult living donors has been increasing for liver transplantation due to a…2016 American Transplant Congress
Pediatric Heart Transplantation Across a Positive Cross-Match Is Associated with High Rates of AMR but No Difference in Short Term Graft Loss, Dysfunction and Death (CTOTC-04 study).
Sensitization is common in pediatric heart transplant (HT) candidates. Waitlist mortality is high if a prospective -ve CDC-crossmatch (XM) is required, but HT across a…2016 American Transplant Congress
High-Risk Age Window for Graft Loss in Pediatric Lung and Heart Transplant Recipients.
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore.
Late adolescence and early adulthood is a high-risk age window for pediatric kidney graft loss, though not for pediatric liver graft loss. It is unknown…2016 American Transplant Congress
Graft Survival of Steroid-Avoidance Protocols in Pediatric Kidney Transplantation[mdash]A Propensity Score Analysis.
Purpose: This study investigated whether steroid avoidance-protocols adversely influence allograft survival among pediatric kidney transplant recipients at high levels of immunologic risk.Methods: A retrospective cohort…2016 American Transplant Congress
Initial Evaluation of Use of NAT in Assignment of CMV and EBV Infection Status in Children Awaiting Solid Organ Transplant.
Medicine, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.
Purpose: The presence of passive antibodies, transfusion-acquired or maternal in infants, can make serologic determination of pre-transplant CMV and EBV status in children unreliable. We…2016 American Transplant Congress
Ideal Outcome After Liver Transplantation: An Exploratory Study Using Machine Learning Analyses to Leverage Long-Term Registry Data from Studies in Pediatric Liver Transplantation (SPLIT).
We analyzed the Studies in Pediatric Liver Transplantation (SPLIT) registry dataset using heat map and random forests analyses (RFA) to determine if ideal outcome (IO)…
