متن کاملDuration of graft cold ischemia does not affect outcomes in pediatric heart transplant recipients.
BACKGROUND Utilizing donor hearts with prolonged graft ischemia may extend the donor pool. METHODS AND RESULTS The medical records of 363 infants and children, aged 1 day to 17 years, transplanted at Loma Linda University between November 1985 and March 2001, were retrospectively reviewed. Fourteen children received organs with prolonged ischemic times (>8 hours)(PIT) compared with 14 with sh...

متن کاملDoes duration of donor brain injury affect outcome after orthotopic pediatric heart transplantation?
OBJECTIVE We tested the hypothesis that duration of donor brain injury and death would have an adverse effect on recipient rejection and mortality in pediatric heart transplantation. METHODS Ninety-three cardiac transplants were performed at our center from July 1, 1997, through June 30, 2003. The primary study end points were the number of rejection episodes and the time to first rejection. ...
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...
