Prognostic Value Of Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography In Heart Transplantation Recipients
Division of Cardiology/ JC Walter Jr. Transplant Center, Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX
*Purpose: Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) carries a class IIa recommendation in the ISHLT guidelines for screening of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV). Positive DSEs have a…2019 American Transplant Congress
Poor Practitioner Adherence to Clinical Tobacco Use Guidelines in Liver Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Tobacco use is a modifiable risk factor for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in liver transplant recipients (LTRs). However, data are lacking about practitioner…2019 American Transplant Congress
Ligation of the Proximal Splenic Vein to Keep Adequate Portal Flow in Patients with Large Splenorenal Shunts during Living Donor Liver Transplantation
*Purpose: Adequate graft portal venous flow is essential for the rapid regeneration of partial grafts during living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Large splenorenal shunts (SRS)…2019 American Transplant Congress
