Dual-graft (DG) adult living donor liver transplantation (ALDLT) with ABO-incompatible (ABOi) and ABO-compatible (ABOc) graft combination is associated with high rates of graft survival, with no significant difference for ABOi and ABOc grafts, according to research published online July 31 in the American Journal of Transplantation.
Jae Hyun Kwon, M.D., from the University of Ulsan College of Medicine in Seoul, South Korea, and colleagues conducted a retrospective review of medical records of patients who underwent ABOi DG ALDLT between 2008 and 2014. The authors also assessed the graft regeneration rate using computed tomography volumetric analysis.
During a mean follow-up of 57.0 ± 22.4 months, the researchers found that the one-, three-, and five-year patient survival rate was 96.4 percent. The rate of graft survival at one-, three-, and five-years was 96.4, 94.2, and 92.0 percent, respectively; ABOc and ABOi grafts did not differ significantly (P = 0.145). No significant differences were seen between ABOc and ABOi grafts in the biliary complication rate (P = 0.195). There was no significant difference in regeneration rates for ABOi and ABOc grafts.
"DG ALDLT with ABOi and ABOc graft combination seems to be a feasible option for expanding the donor pool without additional donor risks," the authors write.
Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) is organized by CardioVascular Research Foundation (CRF) and would be held during Oct 29 - Nov 2, 2017 at Colorado Convention Center, Denver, Colorado, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event for interventional cardiologists, radiologists, clinical cardiologists, scientists, vascular medicine specialists, cardiac and vascular surgeons, nurse practitioners, cath lab technicians, and other healthcare professionals with a special interest in the field of interventional and vascular medicine.
Activity Goals :
The overall goal of this activity is to improve the competence and performance of our target audience by delivering cutting-edge educational content that showcases the latest advances in current therapies and clinical research. We hope that our longstanding commitment to lifesaving innovation will translate into improved patient care.
Learning Objectives :
By the end of the symposium, participants should be able to:
* Apply the results from important clinical trials and evidence-based medicine to guide the management of patients with atherosclerosis and structural heart disease
* Incorporate new interventional technologies and procedures into the care of patients with complex coronary and endovascular disease
* Integrate advances in diagnostic evaluation and therapeutics into the treatment of patients with carotid and peripheral arterial disease
* Implement appropriate pharmacologic management in the care of patients undergoing diagnostic arteriography and interventional therapies before, during, and after catheterization
* Identify new interventional technologies and propose appropriate applications for patients with cardiovascular disease
There are quite a lot of benefits that come from using videos during any classroom and learning session. But is it a good idea to do this, what benefits can you obtain here? With that in mind, here you can find the 05 major benefits that you can acquire via using videos in the classroom.
1. Videos are easier to be accepted by students
2. Immerse students in the prodcution
3. Video brings more information
4. Engage learners
5. More than words can tell
