Kidney Allograft Vascular Disease Post-Transplant (KTX): Risk Factors and Implications
1Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN; 2Pathology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
Background: Over time grafts develop arteriosclerosis (ART)and arteriolar hyalinosis (AH). Previous studies associated AH with calcineurin inhibitors (CNI), diabetes (DM), kidney age and hypertension. Other…2018 American Transplant Congress
Vascular Allografts in Renal Transplantation
Solid Organ Transplantation, Cleveland Clinic Florida, Weston, FL.
Vascular allografts are used routinely in pancreas, intestine and occasionally in liver transplantation. We propose that selective use of vascular allografts may increase utilization of…2018 American Transplant Congress
Apoptotic Exosome-Like Vesicles Induce Endothelial Cell Plasticity
Acute vascular rejection of renal allografts is associated with increased endothelial apoptosis which contributes to the development of transplant vasculopathy. We previously showed that apoptotic…2018 American Transplant Congress
Prevalence and Persistence of Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Subclinical Vascular Damage in Patients after Pediatric Lung Transplantation
In adults undergoing solid organ transplantation, cardiovascular (CV) disease causes a high level of morbidity and mortality. Children after lung transplantation (Lu-Tx) are prone to…2018 American Transplant Congress
Kidney Transplantation and Progression of Peripheral Arterial Disease in the Ipsilateral Lower Extremity
Objectives:We aimed to investigate whether receiving a kidney transplant allograft graft increases the risk of ipsilateral lower limb amputation in patients with pre-existing peripheral arterial…2018 American Transplant Congress
Upper Limb Early Cannulation Arteriovenous Grafts (ecAVG) for Complex Vascular Access – A Healthy Alternative to Central Venous Catheters (CVC)
IntroductionPatients with few transplant options and failing dialysis access are challenging to manage. Transitioning away from a CVC to fistula / graft is often difficult.…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Impact of Aorto-Iliac Calcifications on Patient and Graft Survival in Renal Transplant Recipients Using the TASC II Classification
Introduction: Kidney transplantation (KTx) is the therapy of choice in patients with end-stage renal disease. Aorto-iliac calcifications (AIC) are a relative contra-indication for KTx, even…2018 American Transplant Congress
A High Abdominal Aortic Calcification Score by Dual X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) is Associated with Cardiovascular Events after Kidney Transplantation
Introduction: It is unknown whether aortic calcification is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular events in renal transplant recipients. Therefore, this study focused on the…2018 American Transplant Congress
Circulating Wnt Pathway Factors Are Non-Invasive Biomarkers of Transplant Vascular Injury
Purpose: Transplant vascular injury (TVI) is a major cause of renal allograft failure and is resistant to treatment. Non-invasive pathogenic biomarkers of TVI would provide…2017 American Transplant Congress
Angioplasty versus Stent in the Treatment of Transplant Renal Artery Stenosis.
Objective: To compare restenosis rates and treatment efficacy between percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stent placement in the treatment of transplant renal artery stenosis.Methods: We conducted…
