ABSTRACT Introduction Some living organ donors will decide to donate again at a later date. Evidence has indicated that this practice may have increased in recent years. We evaluated the incidence and outcomes of inform counseling potential repeat donors. Methods Using SRTR data from 1994 2023, we identified 220 their 415 recipients. constructed donor comparison groups using weighting by odds. described clinical lab results 6 months, 1 year, 2 years post‐donation separately for kidney‐second...
ABSTRACT Introduction Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEH) is a rare indication of liver transplant with limited evidence. Methods Adult recipients undergoing first‐time liver‐only from 2002 to 2021 in the United States were identified using UNOS/OPTN database. We compared post‐transplant outcomes receiving for HEH versus other diagnoses. Survival was visualized Kaplan‐Meier curves and log‐rank test multivariable Cox regression. Propensity score matching recipient age, sex, MELD...
The presence of rheumatoid arthritis in patients undergoing 111indium-labelled polymorphonuclear leucocyte scanning represents a source possible diagnostic confusion. In such patients, the labelled cells frequently accumulate over caecum and ascending colon, despite absence obvious pathology large bowel. aetiology this effect is unknown.
Steatotic livers represent a potentially underutilized resource to increase the donor graft pool; however, 1 barrier increased utilization of such grafts is heterogeneity in definition and measurement macrovesicular steatosis (MaS). Digital imaging software (DIS) may better standardize definitions study posttransplant outcomes. Using HALO, DIS, we analyzed 63 liver biopsies, from 3 transplant centers, transplanted between 2016 2018, compared percentage (%MaS) as estimated by center,...
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridge to lung transplant (BTT) has been used for critically ill candidates with excellent outcomes, but data on this strategy in older recipients remain limited. We compared outcomes of no BTT, mechanical ventilation (MV)-only and ECMO BTT greater than or equal 65 years. Lung-only years the United Network Organ Sharing database between 2008 2022 were included stratified by bridging strategy. Of 9,936 transplants included, 226 (2.3%) MV-only...
Abstract Background: Patients with ventricular assist devices (VADs) represent a growing population presenting to Emergency Medical Services (EMS), but little is known about their prehospital care. This study aimed characterize current EMS protocols in the United States for patients VADs. Methods: state-wide were included. Protocols obtained from state website. If not available, office of medical director was contacted. For each state, analyzed patient and VAD assessment treatment variables....
Abstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has gained traction as a bridge to heart transplantation (HT) but remains associated with increased waitlist mortality. This study explores whether this risk is modified by underlying failure (HF) etiology. Methods Using the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network registry, we conducted retrospective review of first‐time adult HT candidates from 2018 through 2022. Patients were categorized “ECMO”, if ECMO was utilized...

Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridge to lung transplant (BTT) has been used support critically ill patients on the waitlist with excellent outcomes post-transplant. Some centers cite candidate age ≥65 years contraindication despite minimal data restricting ECMO BTT among older candidates. We compared of BTT, mechanical ventilation (MV)-only and no in recipients years. Methods: For our analysis, candidates known cannulation dates 2005-2020 United Network for...
