Higher Functional Capacity Prior to Kidney Transplant Confers Lower Risk of New Onset Diabetes After Transplantation.
Background: New onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) adversely impacts both allograft function and patient survival. We hypothesize that higher functional capacity prior to kidney transplant…2016 American Transplant Congress
Incidence of and Risk Assessment for Adverse Cardiovascular Outcomes Following Liver Transplantation: A Systematic Review.
Purpose: Cardiovascular (CV) events remain a major source of morbidity and mortality following liver transplantation (LT). This review evaluates the incidence of and risk assessment…2016 American Transplant Congress
Incidence of Post-Transplant Cardiovascular Disease After Pediatric Kidney Transplantation.
PURPOSE: Kidney transplant (KTx) recipients have increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), related to time on dialysis and post-KTx immunosuppression. To date, the incidence of…2016 American Transplant Congress
Donor-Specific Antibody Is a Major Independent Predictor of Accelerated Heart Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV).
Introduction The role of circulating DSA in addition to traditional cardiovascular risk factors, in the development of accelerated CAV have not been demonstrated. We investigated…2015 American Transplant Congress
Progression of Coronary Artery Disease in High-Risk Patients Undergoing Renal Transplantation
Imperial College Renal and Transplant Centre, London, United Kingdom.
Asymptomatic coronary artery disease [CAD] is common in patients with end-stage renal disease [ESRD]. While coronary revascularization prior to transplantation is associated with improved patient…2015 American Transplant Congress
Evaluating the Benefits of Everolimus on Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy: Further Evidence from Results of Imputations for Missing IVUS Data from A2310 Study
Purpose: A2310 IVUS study showed that everolimus (EVR) provides cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) benefit compared to mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) by assessing the mean change in…2015 American Transplant Congress
High Atherosclerotic Burden in Pediatric Lung Transplant Recipients
Purpose: Pediatric lung transplant patients have been reported to have an increased incidence of hypertension. This incidence might be caused by the treatment with calcineurin…2015 American Transplant Congress
Investigating Role of Early VTE Chemoprophylaxis in Kidney Transplant
Objective: Our objective was to determine whether the rate of venothromboembolic events (VTE) varied with early versus delayed prophylaxis administration. Associated bleeding complications were also…2015 American Transplant Congress
Paired-Donor Exchange Unrelated Living Donor Renal Transplantation With Two Separate Arterial Anastomoses to a Simultaneously Placed Vascular Prosthetic Interposition Graft in an Irradiated Field
BackgroundLack of suitable sites for arterial anastomoses presents a distinct challenge for renal transplantation in patients with significant peripheral arterial occlusive disease.MethodsWe present a case…2015 American Transplant Congress
Increased Vascular Stiffness in Pediatric Renal Transplant Recipients Despite Normal Kidney Function, Blood Pressure, and Body Mass Index
1Southern Illinois University, Springfield, IL; 2Washington University, St. Louis, MO.
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) imparts enormous cardiovascular (CV) risk that is only partially improved by renal transplantation. We sought to understand the determinants of…
