Standardization of Pre-Transplant Cardiac Testing in Kidney Transplant Recipients is Associated with Lower Post-Transplant Cardiac Events
*Purpose: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality after kidney transplantation and optimal approaches to pre-transplant cardiac testing are not well defined. We applied…2020 American Transplant Congress
Assessment of Coronary Allograft Vasculopathy by Intravascular Ultrasound 6 Weeks and One Year after Heart Transplantation: A Single Center Study
Cardiology, Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas, TX
*Purpose: Coronary allograft vasculopathy (CAV) continues to be a common cause of morbidity and mortality in heart transplant recipients. Little is known about the timing…2020 American Transplant Congress
Late Onset Primary Graft Dysfunction after Lung Transplantation Correlates with Transplant Arteriosclerosis in a Humanized Mouse Model
*Purpose: Primary Graft dysfunction (PGD) is one of the most important causes of early mortality after lung transplantation. We investigated the correlation between the incidence…2020 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Increased Visceral Fat in Kidney Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: An increased amount of visceral fat (VF) has been reported as a precursor to metabolic syndrome and is a risk factor for renal dysfunction.…2020 American Transplant Congress
Serum Osteopontin Level is Negatively Associated with Vascular Reactivity Index by Digital Thermal Monitoring in Kidney Transplant Patients
*Purpose: Osteopontin (OPN) is a potent inhibitor of mineralization and is a potent inducible inhibitor of vascular calcification. Studies in patients noted elevated levels of…2020 American Transplant Congress
Lower Extremity Vascular Complications after Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney Transplant
University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA
*Purpose: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) is the leading indication for simultaneous pancreas kidney transplantation (SPK). Prior work has demonstrated a 2% incidence of lower…2020 American Transplant Congress
The Role of mTOR Inhibitors on Cardiovascular Aging in Renal Transplanted Patients with Chronic Graft Dysfunction
*Purpose: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is strongly associated with increased circulatory complications that can lead to accelerated cardiovascular aging. During CKD, persistent oxidative stress triggered…2020 American Transplant Congress
Unified Management of Inferior Vena Cava Web and Right Hepatic Vein in Living Donor Liver Transplantation for Membranous Obstruction of Vena Cava (Budd Chiari Syndrome)
Department of Surgery, Ulsan University Hospital, Ulsan, Korea, Republic of
*Purpose: In Eastern countries Budd Chiari syndrome (BCS) is most often caused by the membranous obstruction of the vena cava (MOVC). During living donor liver…2020 American Transplant Congress
Predominant Role of Microvascular Injury and Rarefaction Function as Drivers of Progressive Renal Damage and Fibrosis Post Mild and Severe Acute Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury
*Purpose: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major risk factor for chronic renal failure. Here, we characterize the different cell deaths in tubular and microvascular compartments…2020 American Transplant Congress
Age-Enhanced Transplant Vasculopathy Associates with Impaired Vascular Mitophagy
*Purpose: Donor aging leads to increased chronic allograft vasculopathy (CAV) for unclear reasons. Here, we investigated whether impaired alterations in mitophagy, a mechanism to remove…
