Rituximab Is Indispensable for Pediatric Heart Transplant Recipients Developing Post transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorders
Abstract Rituximab, an anti-CD20 agent, has been suggested as an effective strategy to deal with post transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD). In the current study, we aim to evaluate the efficacy of rituximab therapy in heart transplant population developing PTLD. A comprehensive search of the literature was performed to gather the available data on lymphoproliferative disorders oc...
متن کاملTreatment Options for Pediatric Renal Transplant Recipients with Acute Antibody-Mediated Rejection
Antibody mediated rejection is increasingly being recognized as a significant player in contributing to long term graft injury and loss in renal transplant recipients. Due to the paucity to large and robust trials, much of what we know about this entity is based on small case series and reports. Our review discusses the importance of antibody mediated rejection in children with renal transplant...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of pediatric heart transplantation across a positive crossmatch for high waitlist urgency candidates.
Allosensitized children listed with a requirement for a negative prospective crossmatch have high mortality. Previously, we found that listing with the intent to accept the first suitable organ offer, regardless of the possibility of a positive crossmatch (TAKE strategy), results in a survival advantage from the time of listing compared to awaiting transplantation across a negative crossmatch (...
متن کاملCardiac allograft vasculopathy in pediatric heart transplant recipients.
Metabolic parameters for coronary allograft vasculopathy (CAV) have not been well defined in children. CAV (by angiography or autopsy) was studied in 337 heart recipients on a cyclosporine-based steroid-sparing regimen. Freedom from CAV for all was 79% at 10 years. Fifty-nine patients (18%) developed CAV at a mean of 6.5 +/- 3 years post-transplant. First year rejections were significantly high...
متن کاملPost-Traumatic Stress Symptoms in Pediatric Heart Transplant Recipients.
Traumatic experiences are not unusual in pediatric heart transplant (HT) recipients before and after transplantation. Post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) present at the time of transplant evaluation and developing afterward occur with an unknown frequency. We sought to determine the burden of these symptoms in heart transplant patients. We reviewed 51 consecutive HTs between 2003-2007, includ...
