POSITIVE, WARM T CELL CROSSMATCH IN CARDIAC TRANSPLANTATION

Liver transplantation against T cell-positive warm crossmatches.

W E HAVE previously reported that the liver is unusually resistant to hyperacute rejection and that a positive T lymphocyte cross match at 37 DC (positive T-warm crossmatch) is not a contraindication for liver homotransplantation. 13 Since the last report,2 we have accumulated 36 additional liver homografts transplanted in the presence of positive T-warm crossmatches. The one-year survival of t...

Successful liver transplantation from crossmatch-positive donors.

Living-donor kidney transplant in T-cell and B-cell flow cytometry crossmatch-positive patients.

OBJECTIVES Complement-dependent cytotoxic crossmatch is an important indicator for kidney transplant. However, there is controversy about treatment for flow cytometry crossmatch-positive cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study of 127 living-donor kidney transplant recipients from May 2007 to July 2011. We divided patients into 115 flow cytometry crossmatch T-cell and B-cel...

T cell depleted haploidentical transplantation: positive selection

Interest in mismatched transplantation arises from the fact that a suitable one-haplotype mismatched donor is immediately available for virtually all patients, particularly for those who urgently need an allogenic transplant. Work on one haplotype-mismatched transplants has been proceeding for over 20 years all over the world and novel transplant techniques have been developed. Some centres hav...

The effect of a positive T-lymphocytotoxic crossmatch on clinical outcomes in adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation

PURPOSE There is controversy concerning the effect of a positive T-lymphocytotoxic crossmatch (TLC) on clinical outcomes in adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of TLC on clinical outcomes in LDLT and to determine how long a pretransplant positive TLC continues after liver transplantation (LT). METHODS Between January 2005 and Ju...
