A model of sequential heart and composite tissue allotransplant in rats.
(Plast Reconstr Surg, 2010-07)BACKGROUND: Some of the 600,000 patients with solid organ allotransplants need reconstruction with a composite tissue allotransplant, such as the hand, abdominal wall, or face. The aim of this study was to develop a rat ... -
Clinical and angiographic outcomes with everolimus eluting stents for the treatment of cardiac allograft vasculopathy.
(Journal of interventional cardiology, 2014-02)OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine clinical efficacy, safety, and intermediate clinical outcomes with everolimus-eluting stents (EESs) in patients with transplant coronary artery disease (TCAD). BACKGROUND: TCAD is ... -
Commentary: Shunted single-ventricle neonatal ventricular-assist device support: Are we nearing a consensus strategy?
(The Journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2019-08) -
Impact of Leukocyte Function-Associated Antigen-1 Blockade on Endogenous Allospecific T Cells to Multiple Minor Histocompatibility Antigen Mismatched Cardiac Allograft.
(Transplantation, 2015-12)BACKGROUND: Blocking leukocyte function-associated antigen (LFA)-1 in organ transplant recipients prolongs allograft survival. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the therapeutic potential of LFA-1 blockade in preventing ... -
Interleukin 21 (IL-21) regulates chronic allograft vasculopathy (CAV) in murine heart allograft rejection.
(PloS one, 2019-01)IL-21 is the most recently discovered common gamma-chain cytokine that promotes persistent T-cell responses in chronic infections, autoimmunity and cancer. However, the therapeutic potential of inhibiting the IL-21-BATF ... -
Patterns of de novo allo B cells and antibody formation in chronic cardiac allograft rejection after alemtuzumab treatment.
(Am J Transplant, 2012-10)Even though the etiology of chronic rejection (CR) is multifactorial, donor specific antibody (DSA) is considered to have a causal effect on CR development. Currently the antibody-mediated mechanisms during CR are poorly ... -
Primary vascularization of the graft determines the immunodominance of murine minor H antigens during organ transplantation.
(J Immunol, 2011-10-15)Grafts can be rejected even when matched for MHC because of differences in the minor histocompatibility Ags (mH-Ags). H4- and H60-derived epitopes are known as immunodominant mH-Ags in H2(b)-compatible BALB.B to C57BL/6 ... -
Two Cases of Late Shone Syndrome With Pulmonary Hypertension: Heart-Lung Transplant or Valve Surgery?
(World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg, 2016-01)Two cases of Shone syndrome with severe mitral and aortic valve problems and pulmonary hypertension were referred for heart-lung transplantation. Severely elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) was confirmed as was ...
