New Left Lobe Transplantation Procedure with Caval Reconstruction Using an Inverted Composite Graft for Chronic Budd-Chiari Syndrome in Living-Donor Liver Transplantation —A Case Report
When the Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) lesion extends to the inferior vena cava (IVC) or the orifices of the hepatic vein, the thickened IVC and/or hepatic vein wall must be removed and IVC reconstruction is required in living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT). In various reports about IVC resection in LDLT for BCS, there are none about left lobe liver transplantation with reconstruction of the retrohepatic IVC (rhIVC). To overcome removal and reconstruction of the rhIVC in LDLT for BCS, we introduced a composite IVC graft that is applicable to both right and left lobe partial liver grafts for LDLT for BCS.

Impact of Pretransplant Infections on Clinical Course in Liver Transplant Recipients
Uncontrolled infections are known to be an absolute contraindication for liver transplantation; however, the posttransplant prognosis of recipients treated for pretransplant infection is unclear. The aim of this study was to analyze pretransplant infections among liver transplant recipients and to determine their impact on posttransplant clinical outcomes.

Delayed Recovery of Renal Function After Donor Nephrectomy
Many living kidney donors are still at risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) 1 year after nephrectomy. Although some donors still experience poor renal function, many exhibit delayed recovery of renal function afterwards. We studied the factors related to delayed recovery of renal function in patients with CKD at 1 year after nephrectomy. (Source: Transplantation Proceedings)

Brief Episodes of Newly Developed Intraoperative Atrial Fibrillation Predicts Worse Outcomes in Adult Liver Transplantation
Although patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) are frequently exposed to predisposing factors of atrial fibrillation (AF) such as autonomic imbalance, surgical stress, and elevated catecholamine levels, the occurrence of intraoperative AF (IOAF) has not been fully examined in LT candidates.

Single-Center Experience Using Marginal Liver Grafts in Korea
Liver transplantation (LT) is an established therapeutic modality for patients with end-stage liver disease. The use of marginal donors has become more common worldwide due to the sharp increase in recipients, with a consequent shortage of suitable organs. We analyzed our single-center experience over the last 8 years in LT to evaluate the outcomes of using so-called “marginal donors.” (Source: Transplantation Proceedings)

Prevalence of Antiphospholipid Antibody Positivity and Association of Pretransplant Lupus Anticoagulant Positivity With Early Allograft Dysfunction in Liver Transplantation
Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL), including anticardiolipin (aCL), anti- β2-glycoprotein I (anti-β2GPI), and lupus anticoagulant (LA) antibodies, are frequently found in liver cirrhosis and associated with splanchnic vein thrombosis. Although the risk factors of early allograft dysfunction (EAD) are known, the association between EAD and aPL has been poorly investigate d. We hypothesized that LA, potent aPL with thrombotic potential, may be associated with EAD development after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). (Source: Transplantation Proceedings)

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Bacteremia in Liver Transplant Recipients
Acinetobacter baumannii has become an increasingly important nosocomial pathogen. Carbapenem is the preferred drug of choice for treatment of multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacilli, but carbapenem-resistant A baumannii (CRAB) has now emerged. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence, outcomes, and risk factors for CRAB bacteremia in liver transplant recipients. (Source: Transplantation Proceedings)

Comorbidities Can Predict Mortality of Kidney Transplant Recipients: Comparison With the Charlson Comorbidity Index
Comorbid conditions are important in the survival of kidney transplant recipients. The weights assigned to comorbidities to predict survival may vary based on the type of index disease and advances in the management of comorbidities. We aimed to develop a modified Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) in renal allograft recipients (mCCI-KT), thereby improving risk stratification for mortality. (Source: Transplantation Proceedings)

Diabetes With or Without Hypertension Does Not Affect Graft Survival and All-cause Mortality After Liver Transplant: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis
Many studies have reported the negative influence of diabetes and hypertension on morbidity and mortality in the general population. In liver transplantation (LT) recipients, prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome is increasing. Hence, concerns over the negative influence of metabolic syndrome, including diabetes and hypertension, are growing. However, there have been few studies about the outcomes of LT recipients with diabetes with/without hypertension. We aimed to evaluate the impact of diabetes with/without hypertension on the outcomes of LT. (Source: Transplantation Proceedings)
