Adverse cardiac events after orthotopic liver transplantation: A cross‐sectional study in 389 consecutive patients

Ramona Nicolau‐Raducu, Marina Gitman, Donald Ganier, George E. Loss, Ari J. Cohen, Hamang Patel, Nigel Girgrah, Krish Sekar, Bobby Nossaman – 11 September 2014 – Current American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines caution that preoperative noninvasive cardiac tests may have poor predictive value for detecting coronary artery disease in liver transplant candidates.

Different histological sequelae of immune‐mediated graft dysfunction after interferon treatment in transplanted dual grafts from living donors

Mizuki Ninomiya, Shinichi Aishima, Tomoharu Yoshizumi, Toru Ikegami, Huanlin Wang, Norifumi Harimoto, Shinji Ito, Hideaki Uchiyama, Yuji Soejima, Hirofumi Kawanaka, Ken Shirabe, Yoshihiko Maehara – 11 September 2014

A score model for the continuous grading of early allograft dysfunction severity

Eugenia Pareja, Miriam Cortes, David Hervás, José Mir, Andrés Valdivieso, José V. Castell, Agustín Lahoz – 10 September 2014 – Early allograft dysfunction (EAD) dramatically influences graft and patient outcomes. A lack of consensus on an EAD definition hinders comparisons of liver transplant outcomes and management of recipients among and within centers. We sought to develop a model for the quantitative assessment of early allograft function [Model for Early Allograft Function Scoring (MEAF)] after transplantation.

Perioperative changes in nutritional parameters and impact of graft size in patients undergoing adult living donor liver transplantation

Ahmed Hammad, Toshimi Kaido, Kohei Ogawa, Yasuhiro Fujimoto, Koji Tomiyama, Akira Mori, Tadahiro Uemura, Shinji Uemoto – 10 September 2014 – Derangements of various serum biochemical nutritional/metabolic parameters are common in patients with end‐stage liver disease who undergo liver transplantation (LT). The aim of this study was to explain the benefit of LT with respect to parameter changes and to examine the impact of the graft‐to‐recipient weight ratio (GRWR) on such changes.
