Mashup Score: 3Usage of older donors is associated with higher mortality after heart transplantation: A UNOS observational study - 14 hour(s) ago
Utilization of heart from older donors is variable across centers with uncertain outcomes of recipients. We sought to utilize a national registry to examine the usage and outcomes of heart transplant (HT) recipients from older donors. We also explored the impact of current donor heart allocation scheme on the outcomes of hearts from older donors.

Mashup Score: 10JHLT: The Podcast: Episode 42: May 2024 - 15 hour(s) ago
On this episode of JHLT: The Podcast, the JHLT Digital Media Editors explore two studies from the May issue of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation. Digital Media Editor David Schibilsky, MD, a cardiothoracic surgeon from Freiburg, Germany, hosts this episode.  First, Dr. Schibilsky and Digital Media Editor Erika Lease, MD, interview their first guest, Helen A. Hannan, the podcast’s first-ever undergraduate pre-medical guest, from the University of Michigan. Helen was the lead author on the study “.” The study noted that prior research in utilization of kidneys from donors with Hepatitis C had shown disparities due to gender and education—and wanted to see if this was the case in heart and lung donors as well.  Drs. Schibilsky and Lease chat with Helen about the findings of the study, including some of the interesting differences shown between heart and lung recipients, and the ramifications for better patient discussions at the clinical level.  Next, Dr. Schibilsky and Dig

Mashup Score: 29A radiographic score for human donor lungs on ex vivo lung perfusion predicts transplant outcomes - 3 day(s) ago
Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is an advanced platform for isolated lung assessment and treatment. Radiographs acquired during EVLP provide a unique opportunity to assess lung injury. The purpose of our study was to define and evaluate EVLP radiographic findings and their association with lung transplant outcomes.

Mashup Score: 5DQB1 antigen matching improves rejection-free survival in pediatric heart transplant recipients - 4 day(s) ago
Presence of donor-specific antibodies (DSAs), particularly to class II antigens, remains a major challenge in pediatric heart transplantation. Donor-recipient human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching is a potential strategy to mitigate poor outcomes associated with DSAs. We evaluated the hypothesis that antigen mismatching at the DQB1 locus is associated with worse rejection-free survival.

Mashup Score: 16Cardiac magnetic resonance assessment of acute rejection and cardiac allograft vasculopathy in pediatric heart transplant - 6 day(s) ago
In pediatric heart transplant (PHT), cardiac catheterization with endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is standard for diagnosing acute rejection (AR) and cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) but is costly and invasive.

Mashup Score: 11Short-term outcomes after third-time lung transplantation: A single institution experience - 9 day(s) ago
Reoperative lung transplantation (LTx) survival has improved over time such that a growing number of patients may present for third-time LTx (L3Tx). To understand the safety of L3Tx, we evaluated perioperative outcomes and 3-year survival after L3Tx at a high-volume US LTx center.

Mashup Score: 16Impact of center volume on outcomes after ventricular assist device implantation in pediatric patients: An analysis of the STS-Pedimacs database - 11 day(s) ago
To date, no pediatric studies have highlighted the impact of center’s ventricular assist device (VAD) volumes on post implant outcomes.

Mashup Score: 12
Cardiac metabolism is altered in heart failure and ischemia-reperfusion injury states. We hypothesized that metabolomic profiling during ex situ normothermic perfusion before heart transplantation (HT) would lend insight into myocardial substrate utilization and report on subclinical and clinical allograft dysfunction risk.

Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a rare disease caused by the human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV). Only 4% of patients infected with HTLV contract ATLL, and most take decades to present with malignancy. Herein, we present a rare case of ATLL following a heart transplantation.

Acute T cell leukemia in a stable recipient of a heart transplantation. The authors recommend preop survey & regular monitoring of HTLV-1/2 carrier recipients after ❤️tx, given lack of established chemotherapy/antivrial agents for such patients. 🔗 https://t.co/vgbqZ90yrZ https://t.co/bBIhj1JAMH
