Knowledge on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in liver transplant recipients is lacking, particularly terms of severity the disease. The aim this study was to describe demographic, baseline clinical characteristics and early outcomes a European cohort with SARS-CoV-2 infection.We conducted an international prospective across Europe confirmed by microbiological assay during first outbreak COVID-19 pandemic. Baseline characteristics, presentation,...
<title>Abstract</title> Background Patients with biliary atresia (BA) undergoing liver transplantation (LT) often have complex portal vein (PV) reconstructions due to PV hypoplasia. The use of venous homograft (VH) interposition is a surgical option in demanding reconstruction guarantee optimal inflow. long-term outcomes this procedure are still unclear. Methods We selected patients under 3 years age affected by BA who underwent split (SLT) between 2006 and 2010 at our centre. compared the...
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) have emerged as a promising therapy to minimize the immunosuppressive regimen or induce tolerance in solid organ transplantation. In this randomized open-label phase Ib/IIa clinical trial, 20 liver transplant patients were randomly allocated (1:1) receive single pretransplant intravenous infusion of third-party bone marrow–derived MSC standard care alone. The primary endpoint was safety profile administration during 1-year follow-up. all, 19 completed study,...
To date, caval sparing (CS) and total replacement (TCR) for recipient hepatectomy in liver transplantation (LT) have been compared only terms of surgical morbidity. Nonetheless, the CS technique is inherently associated with an increased manipulation native later exclusion venous outflow, which may increase risk intraoperative shedding tumor cells when LT performed HCC. A multicenter, retrospective study was to assess impact (CS vs. TCR) on posttransplant HCC recurrence among 16 European...
Immunosuppressive agents are known to interfere with T and/or B lymphocytes, which required mount an adequate serologic response. Therefore, we aim investigate the antibody response SARS-CoV-2 in liver transplant (LT) recipients after COVID-19.Prospective multicentre case-control study, analysing antibodies against nucleocapsid protein, spike (S) protein of and their neutralising activity LT confirmed infection (COVID-19-LT) compared immunocompetent patients (COVID-19-immunocompetent)...
Changes in flow to the gut and kidney during hemorrhage resuscitation contribute organ dysfunction outcome. We evaluated regional splanchnic oxygen (O2) distribution calculated supply reperfusion compared them with global measures.Seven anesthetized pigs were instrumented evaluate hemodynamics, visceral blood flow, transport. Tonometric pH probes positioned stomach jejunum. Animals bled 45 mm Hg for 1 hour. Crystalloids infused following 2 hours normalize pressure, heart rate, urine output,...
Context: Liver transplantation (LT) is considered the ideal therapy for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) having cirrhosis but shortage of liver donors and risk dropout from wait list due to tumor progression severely limit transplantation. A new prognostic score, HCC-model end-stage disease (HCC-MELD), was developed by combining α-fetoprotein (AFP), MELD, size, improve stratification in HCC. Objectives: In this study, we investigated ability HCC-MELD score predicting...
Abstract Intraoperative transfusions seem associated with patient death and graft failure after PLT x. A retrospective analysis of recipients’ donors’ characteristics transplantation data in a cohort patients undergoing x from 2002 to 2013 at the Bergamo General Hospital was performed. two‐stage hierarchical Cox proportional hazard regression forward stepwise selection used identify main risk factors for major complications. In addition, propensity score adjust estimates possible biases use...
Background and Purpose In percutaneous placement of central venous catheters an inadvertent, direct lesion the lung parenchyma can occur. This is a cause iatrogenic pneumothorax, whose incidence approximately 1 to 4%, largely dependent on experience operator, site venipuncture probably technique employed. Initial treatment currently ranges from observation alone formal tube-thoracostomy. attempt define best initial treatment, if any, we reviewed our personal series contributions literature....
The Yerdel classification is widely used for describing the severity of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in liver transplant (LT) candidates, but might not accurately predict outcome.We retrospectively analyzed data regarding 97 adult patients with PVT who underwent LT, investigating whether complexity reconstruction could better correlate outcome than site and extent thrombosis.79/97 (80%) thrombectomy anatomical anastomosis (TAA), 18/97 (20%) non-anatomical physiological reconstructions...
