Diabetes Mellitus and Kidney Transplant Outcomes.
Background:This study investigates the impact of pre-existing (PDM) and new onset diabetes (NODAT) on the graft and patient survival after kidney transplant.Methods:The UNOS database was…2016 American Transplant Congress
Survival Benefit of DCD Livers.
Liver transplantation benefits registrants with MELD≥18. However, this benefit no doubt varies by donor characteristics, and the benefit of DCD livers remains unclear.Methods: We used…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of High-Risk Lung Donors on the Survival of Lung Recipients With Interstitial Pulmonary Fibrosis
Matching donors and recipients is largely based on experience. With the implementation of the LAS, IPF candidates have the highest provability of being transplanted after…2015 American Transplant Congress
Morphometric Age as a Predictor of Survival Following Kidney Transplantation
1University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI; 2Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH.
INTRODUCTION: Better measures of pre-operative risk stratification are needed in kidney transplantation. Analytic morphomics, which utilizes pre-operative imaging, has been shown to objectively assess mortality…2015 American Transplant Congress
Evaluating Outcomes in Multi-Organ Liver Transplant Recipients
Historically, transplant (Tx) program evaluations performed by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) in the US have included only single-organ Txs, except for simultaneous…2015 American Transplant Congress
Donor Hemodynamic Profile Presages Graft Survival in Donation After Cardiac Death Liver Transplantation
Transplant Institute, Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC.
IntroductionDonation after cardiac death (DCD) grafts are prone to periods of prolonged hypoxemia and hypotension prior to donor expiration, leading to an increased complication rate,…2015 American Transplant Congress
Activated T Regulatory Cells Escape Death by Increasing Cytoplasmic Serine Protease Inhibitor 6 (SPI6)
Renal/ Transplantation Research Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA.
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) can employ a granzyme B (GrB)-dependent mechanism to mediate suppression of effector cells by inducing their apoptosis. In this study we…2015 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Acute Rejection on Liver Transplant Survival in the New Millennium
Background: Based on pre-2000 data, acute rejection (AR) has long been considered clinically less significant in liver transplant (LT) vs. other organ recipients (Charlton et…2015 American Transplant Congress
Establishment of a Novel Model for Hypothermic Machine Perfusion In Vivo in Rabbits
Background: Hypothermic machine perfusion (MP) could improve outcome after transplantation of DCD kidneys, but protective mechanisms of MP remain largely unknown. Therefore, this study aims…2015 American Transplant Congress
Does BMI Affect Survival in Cadaveric Liver Transplantation for Benign Conditions?
Surgery, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada.
Obesity is a relative contraindication to liver transplantation (LT). Aim of this study was to analyze morbidity, mortality, long-term survival of cadaveric LTs stratified by…
