Current State of Liver Transplantation for Cholangiocarcinoma: A Comprehensive Literature Review
Exp Clin Transplant. 2024 Mar;22(3):167-179. doi: 10.6002/ect.2023.0343.ABSTRACTCholangiocarcinoma is the second most common primary hepatic neoplasm, accounting for 10% to 20% of primary liver tumors and 3% of all gastrointestinal neoplasms. The 3 anatomic types (intrahepatic, perihilar, and distal) have distinct epidemiologies, etiopathogenesis, and clinical outcomes. Surgical resection remains the current standard of treatment, but outcomes remain poor. With the continued expansion of liver transplant programs, use of liver transplant for malignant indications has also increased, with reports of encouraging outcomes. Ho...

Active Donor Management Goals in Serial Donors After Brain Death
CONCLUSIONS: Our data strongly suggested that a strict hemodynamic monitoring schedule allows the achievement of donor goals both in older and in younger brain death donors. We confirmed our previous findings that hemodynamic management in brain death donors is influenced by age. A strict hemodynamic monitoring schedule of brain death donors is useful to consistently achieve donor goals.PMID:38695586 | DOI:10.6002/ect.2024.0030 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Outcomes of Kidneys Transplanted From Hepatitis C Viremic Donors to Naive Recipients From an Appalachian Rural Kidney Transplant Program
CONCLUSIONS: Use of hepatitis C-viremic donor kidneys for transplant is a safe option and has great potential to increase the kidney donor pool, as long as high index of suspicion is maintained for allograft rejection and opportunistic infections.PMID:38695587 | DOI:10.6002/ect.2024.0034 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Experiences of Participation in a Study Investigating Feasibility of the Implantable Doppler Probe in Kidney Transplantation: An Embedded Qualitative Study
CONCLUSIONS: The clinical need for blood flow sensing technology in kidney transplants has been widely acknowledged. Implantable Doppler probes may be a beneficial adjunct in the early postoperative surveillance of kidney transplant patients. However, the device's technical limitations are the main challenges to its acceptance in clinical practice.PMID:38695588 | DOI:10.6002/ect.2023.0273 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Clinicopathologic Spectrum and Outcomes of Infections Diagnosed on Graft Biopsies and Nephrectomy in Live Renal Allograft Recipients: An Institutional Experience
CONCLUSIONS: BK polyoma virus infection was the most common infection affecting the renal allograft in our study. Although fungal infections caused the highest mortality among our patients, bacterial graft pyelonephritis was responsible for maximum graft failure. Correctly identifying infections on histology is important so that graft and patient life can be prolonged.PMID:38695589 | DOI:10.6002/ect.2023.0200 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Computed Tomography-Assessed Sarcopenia Predicts Mortality in Kidney Transplant Candidates
CONCLUSIONS: Sarcopenia was ~5 times more frequent in patients with end-stage renal disease than in healthy controls and was positively correlated with the prognostic nutritional index. Sarcopenia was an independent risk factor for mortality in patients on transplant waiting lists.PMID:38695590 | DOI:10.6002/ect.2023.0050 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Donor Complications Following Living Donor Hepatectomy: 17-Year Experience of a Single Team in One Institution of Japan

Ultraviolet Light-Emitting Diode Radiation Kills Leukemia Cells Without Affecting Hematopoiesis of Hematopoietic Stem Cells in Mice
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that ultraviolet LED radiation can suppress the proliferative and tumorigenic abilities of leukemia cells without reducing the hematopoietic reconstitution capacity of hematopoietic stem cells, serving as a promising approach to kill leukemia cells in autograft before autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant.PMID:38695592 | DOI:10.6002/ect.2023.0339 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Surgical Treatment of Medically Refractory Encapsulating Peritoneal Sclerosis in a Patient After Kidney Transplant
Exp Clin Transplant. 2024 Mar;22(3):239-241. doi: 10.6002/ect.2023.0265.ABSTRACTEncapsulating peritoneal sclerosis is a rare but highly morbid disease process in patients with end-stage kidney disease on peritoneal dialysis. Surgical management has been described in patients with encapsulation of bowel causing obstruction. Here, we describe a case of surgical management in a patient following kidney transplant with medically refractory ascites and lower extremity edema.PMID:38695593 | DOI:10.6002/ect.2023.0265 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)

Deceased Donor Liver Transplantation With Hepatic Artery Aneurysm
Exp Clin Transplant. 2024 Mar;22(3):242-243. doi: 10.6002/ect.2024.0025.ABSTRACTFew case reports have documented the long-term outcomes of liver donor aneurysms, illustrating the apprehension of transplant surgeons about using these grafts. However,the presence of an aneurysm in the donor liver should not be an absolute contraindication for its use. As shown in our described patient, such grafts have the potential to achieve good results.PMID:38695594 | DOI:10.6002/ect.2024.0025 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)
