Abstract Solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients are at high risk for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). Studies suggest that early intervention with monoclonal antibody (MAB) treatment directed against the SARS‐CoV‐2 spike protein may reduce of emergency department visits or hospitalization COVID‐19, especially in high‐risk patients. Herein, we describe our single‐center experience 93 SOT (50 kidney, 17 liver, 11 lung, nine heart, and six dual‐organ) mild to moderate COVID‐19 who...
Expedited out-of-sequence deceased donor kidney allocation is a strategy to avoid discards after early placement attempts have been unsuccessful. Our study aimed assess outcomes and characteristics of these transplanted kidneys.KDPI matching was performed between expedited (EA) standard (SA) transplants at our center.Between 2018 2021, there were 225 EA offers, 189 (84%) transplanted. recipients older (p = .007) had shorter dialysis vintage < .0001). kidneys likely be nationally allocated...
Portosystemic shunts can serve as a bridge to liver transplantation in patients with end-stage disease by providing portal decompression treat life-threatening variceal bleeding and prevent recurrent episodes until an organ becomes available. The conventional TIPS procedure, however, is technically challenging perform infants due the small size of their intrahepatic vasculature. We report two cases emergent creation portosystemic using technique first case percutaneous DIPS other. Both...
Abstract Drowning, a common cause of death in the pediatric population, is potentially large donor pool for OLT . Anecdotally, transplant centers have deemed these organs high risk over concerns infection and graft dysfunction. We theorized drowned liver allografts do not portend worse outcomes therefore should be excluded from donation pool. reviewed our single‐center experience s between 1988 2015 identified 33 recipients. These were matched 1:2 to head trauma center. A chart review...
Choledochal cysts are rare congenital dilations of the biliary tree that can present with non-specific symptoms such as abdominal pain, jaundice, cholelithiasis and pancreatitis. Although most commonly identified in children, they be found adult population. However, because symptoms, this diagnosis may difficult to make adult. A physician therefore must keep within their differential, it arise an unexpected patient population who a convoluted work up.In report, we case 50-year-old African...
