Extended-donor criteria liver allografts.
Extended-donor criteria liver allografts do not meet traditional criteria for transplantation. Although these organs offer immediate expansion of the donor pool, transplantation of extended-donor criteria liver allografts increases potential short- and long-term risk to the recipient. This risk may manifest as impaired allograft function or donor-transmitted disease. Guidelines defining this ca...
متن کاملLobar transplantation, split lung transplantation and peripheral segmental resection--reliable procedures for downsizing donor lungs.
OBJECTIVES The increasing scarcity of donor lungs, especially for small and pediatric recipients has stimulated the development of new operative techniques, which allow larger lungs to be downsized for use in smaller recipients. This approach has only recently gained widespread use-especially for highly urgent recipients-however, it is still not considered a standard procedure. METHODS This r...
متن کاملObjective assessment of criteria for selection of donor lungs suitable for transplantation.
BACKGROUND Donor organ shortage severely limits lung transplantation as a therapeutic option, yet many potential donor lungs are deemed unsuitable by clinical selection criteria. METHODS Of 39 consecutive potential donor lungs, 14 were accepted and 25 excluded by clinical selection criteria. All were evaluated prospectively by clinical assessment, bronchoscopy, and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL...
متن کاملAssociation of Donor and Recipient Telomere Length with Clinical Outcomes following Lung Transplantation
BACKGROUND Patients with short telomere syndromes and pulmonary fibrosis have increased complications after lung transplant. However, the more general impact of donor and recipient telomere length in lung transplant has not been well characterized. METHODS This was an observational cohort study of patients who received lung transplant at a single center between January 1st 2012 and January 31...
متن کاملEffects of donor bone marrow infusion in clinical lung transplantation.
BACKGROUND We have demonstrated that donor cell chimerism is associated with a lower incidence of obliterative bronchiolitis (OB) in lung recipients, and that donor chimerism is augmented by the infusion of donor bone marrow (BM). We herein report the intermediate results of a trial combining the infusion of donor BM and lung transplantation. METHODS Clinical and in vitro data of 26 lung reci...
