A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial To Compare The Efficacy Of Ex-vivo Machine Perfusion With Static Cold Storage In Human Liver Transplantation: The University Of Maryland Experience
*Purpose: There is accumulating clinical evidence of the benefit of normothermic ex-vivo machine perfusion (NMP) compared with traditional static cold storage of liver allografts prior…2022 American Transplant Congress
Pulsatile Kidney Perfusion Improves Survival and Graft Function in High Acuity Combined Liver Kidney Transplant (CLKT) Recipients
*Purpose: Due to underlying renal dysfunction, CLKT recipients tend to have higher medical acuity at baseline resulting in a higher likelihood of post-operative complications and…2022 American Transplant Congress
Resistance Isn’t Futile: The Independent Effect of Pumping Resistance on Long-Term Kidney Graft Survival
*Purpose: Kidneys are pumped for therapeutic (to mitigate deleterious effects of ischemia), practical (to facilitate transplant scheduling), and prognostic (to assess organ quality) purposes. Yet…2022 American Transplant Congress
Final Flow and Resistance with Cold Pulsatile Perfusion Preservation Are Independent Risk Factors for Dialysis in the First Week Post-Transplant, Analysis of SRTR Data
Kidney Transplant, Ascension Sacred Heart Hospital, Pensacola, FL
*Purpose: To determine if final flow or resistance on cold pulsatile perfusion preservation (CPPP) have independent predictive value for dialysis in the first week post-transplant.*Methods:…2022 American Transplant Congress
Cold Pulsatile Perfusion Preservation of Deceased Donor Kidneys Did Not Improve Delayed Graft Function Rates in Most Transplants Due to Longer Cold Ischemia Times Offsetting Much of the Benefit, Analysis of SRTR Database
Kidney Transplant, Ascension Sacred Heart Hospital, Pensacola, FL
*Purpose: To determine the impact of cold pulsatile perfusion preservation (CPPP) on delayed graft function (DGF) in a national cohort of US kidney transplants as…2022 American Transplant Congress
Cold Pulsatile Perfusion of Donor Kidneys Varies Significantly by Procuring Organ Procurement Organization Indicating Both Over and Underutilization of This Preservation Method
Kidney Transplant, Ascension Sacred Heart Hospital, Pensacola, FL
*Purpose: To assess the usage and variability cold pulsatile perfusion preservation in the United States based on procuring organ procurement organization (OPO).*Methods: All donors procured…2021 American Transplant Congress
Not Quite Right: The Irony of Longer Cold Times for Higher KDPI Kidneys
*Purpose: To identify tactics for reduction of the kidney discard rate, we analyzed measurable, operational factors contributing to the key outcome of transplantation (TXP) or…2021 American Transplant Congress
Machine Learning Approaches for Post-transplant Kidney Outcome Prediction
*Purpose: Determine a robust prediction model for kidney graft survival based on analyzing a combination of decisive factors such as donor and recipient characteristics, biopsy,…2020 American Transplant Congress
Pumping in Pediatric Kidney Transplantation—Does it Matter?
*Purpose: Pulsatile perfusion of deceased donor kidneys is commonly practiced in adult kidney transplantation. We examined the practice of pulsatile perfusion in pediatric patients undergoing…2020 American Transplant Congress
Ex Vivo Pumping Through an OPO’s Eyes
*Purpose: A single, large organ procurement organization (OPO) sought to document the use of extra-renal ex vivo pumping in the management of the deceased donor…
