🔥New @amjtransplant: we found that #EVLP was associated w/ similar 🫁 txp outcomes, but ⬆️ pt care costs compared to cold storage. 🔑 point: despite ⬆️ cost, EVLP was profitable for our center & remains a promising strategy to ⬆️ the 🫁 donor pool onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

New 📄 @Duke_GATORs: we found that most OPOs aggressively pursue #nonideal liver donors, but organ recovery is highly variable. 🔑 to consider for fair evaluation @TXPDirect @MLSamoylova @bshaw415 @SJKesseli @yuvalpatelMD @drewbarbz @AOPOHQ @CMSGov journals.lww.com/transplantatio…

.@SJKesseli et al. conclude that preoperative embolization is an effective modality to mitigate exsanguinating blood loss during multivisceral #transplant in patients with portomesenteric thrombosis. bit.ly/3w5I3EG

⭐️Listing for kidney txp within 1 year of liver txp increased from 2.9% to 8.8% post-policy ⭐️Rate of kidney txp within 1 year post liver txp - 0.7% to 4%. ⭐️No difference in patient survival between SLK and LT alone with ESRD

Background: SLK criteria changed in 2017 and implemented a safety net policy for kidney after liver txp. ❓What were the impacts of this policy among GFR<25? Results: ⭐️Fewer pts with GFR>30 underwent SLK ⭐️Less variability in GFR at txp
