Safety and Benefit of Transesophageal Echocardiography in Liver Transplant Surgery: A Position Paper From the Society for the Advancement of Transplant Anesthesia (SATA)

Lorenzo De Marchi, Cindy J. Wang, Nikolaos J. Skubas, Rishi Kothari, Jeron Zerillo, Kathirvel Subramaniam, Guy E. Efune, Michelle Y.C. Braunfeld, Susan Mandel – 19 May 2020 – More anesthesiologists are routinely using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) during liver transplant surgery, but the effects on patient outcome are unknown. Transplant anesthesiologists are therefore uncertain if they should undergo additional training and adopt TEE.

Genome‐Wide Association Study of Lean Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Suggests Human Leukocyte Antigen as a Novel Candidate Locus

Ken Yoshida, Kazuha Yokota, Yukinobu Kutsuwada, Kazuhiro Nakayama, Kazuhisa Watanabe, Ayumi Matsumoto, Hiroshi Miyashita, Seik‐soon Khor, Katsushi Tokunaga, Yosuke Kawai, Masao Nagasaki, Sadahiko Iwamoto – 19 May 2020 – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is supposed to manifest its metabolic phenotype in the liver, but it is common to have lean individuals diagnosed with NAFLD, known as lean NAFLD. We conducted a two‐stage analysis to identify NAFLD‐associated loci in Japanese patients.

Understanding the Final Disposition of Livers Declined After the Start of Procurement: A Nationwide Organ Procurement Organization Effort

Nikole A. Neidlinger, Christopher Brown, Patrick Wood, Jeff Traseger, Dan Lebovitz, Roxane Cauwels, Shareef Syed, Justin R. Parekh, Garrett R. Roll – 17 May 2020 – Declining a liver offer during organ procurement likely increases the risk of discard, but the specifics around late reallocation remain obscure. This voluntarily submitted, prospectively collected data describe late declines and the ultimate disposition of 893 livers. Once a liver suffered an intraoperative decline, only 49% of recovered livers were transplanted.
