Normothermic Organ Preservation: The New Standard?
*Purpose: Normothermic perfusion (NMP) is a new technique that has been introduced into transplantation expanding capacity for organ utilization. NMP has been shown to be…2022 American Transplant Congress
Significant Reduction of Troponin I Elaboration After Ischemia Minimization in the First Hour of Ex Vivo Xeno Heart Perfusion
*Purpose: Previous studies showed that ischemia minimization (IM), accomplished by perfusing the heart xenograft during storage, prevents ‘initial cardiac xenograft dysfunction’ (ICXD) and enables prolonged…2022 American Transplant Congress
Normal Saline vs Electrolyte-a Use Peri- and Post-Operatively in Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients
UNC Medical Center, Chapel Hill, NC
*Purpose: 0.9% normal saline (NS) has been used as the standard fluid replacement in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) to prevent dehydration and to improve renal…2022 American Transplant Congress
Liver and Kidney Transplantation from Donation After Circulatory Death Heart Donors in the US: Better Early Outcomes with Normothermic Regional Perfusion versus Cold Flush
*Purpose: Donation after circulatory death (DCD) heart donation is increasingly common in the US. The two methods for DCD heart donation are normothermic regional perfusion…2022 American Transplant Congress
Efficacy and Safety of Angiotensin II Compared to Catecholamine Vasopressors as a First-Line Vasopressor for Perioperative Hypotension in Kidney Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Perioperative use of catecholamine vasopressors (CV) in kidney transplantation (KT) have been associated with negative renal outcomes and the development of arrhythmias. A more…2022 American Transplant Congress
Dynamic Changes and Roles of Specialized Pro-resolving Lipid Meditators in the Initiation and Resolution Process of Lung Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Rats
*Purpose: Lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the significant complications after lung transplantation, which is a form of acute lung injury by robust inflammation.…2022 American Transplant Congress
Normothermic Machine Perfusion in Liver Transplantation – Seven Year Experience at a Single North American Centre
*Purpose: Machine perfusion for preservation of liver grafts before transplantation has risen in prominence over the past decade. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP), in particular, has…2022 American Transplant Congress
Ex Vivo Modification of Vascular Allografts Using Immunosuppressive and Anti-Inflammatory Polymers Prevent Rejection via Localized Immunosuppression
*Purpose: Classical immunosuppressants lead to systemic immune shutdown, though necessary to mediate transplant rejection, it may lead to various complications. To reduce off-target immunosuppression while…
