Direct‐acting antiviral drug approvals for treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection: Scientific and regulatory approaches to clinical trial designs

Poonam Mishra, Jeffrey Murray, Debra Birnkrant – 7 May 2015 – Therapeutic options for treatment of chronic hepatitis C have improved substantially since the approval of direct‐acting antiviral agents (DAAs). Several interferon (IFN)‐free or IFN‐ and ribavirin (RBV)‐free treatment regimens with shorter durations and improved efficacy and safety profiles are now available. The U.S.

Intracardiac thrombosis during liver transplant: A 17‐year single‐institution study

Prith Peiris, Sher‐Lu Pai, Stephen Aniskevich, Claudia C. Crawford, Klaus D. Torp, Beth L. Ladlie, Timothy S. Shine, C. Burcin Taner, Justin H. Nguyen – 4 May 2015 – Intracardiac thrombosis (ICT) during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is an uncommon event. However, it is a devastating complication with high mortality when it occurs. This study aimed to identify possible predisposing factors for ICT during OLT. We retrospectively identified the cases of all patients with ICT during OLT at our institution from 1998 to 2014. Of 2750 OLTs performed, 10 patients had ICT intraoperatively.
