🔥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

New 📄 @Duke_GATORs: we found that most OPOs aggressively pursue #nonideal liver donors, but organ recovery is highly variable. 🔑 to consider for fair evaluation

📄Out now in @AnnalsofSurgery! We defined #TextbookOutcome for 🫁 txp.

🔑 points:
- TO was associated w/ ⬆️ post-txp survival & ⬇️ cost
- TO may facilitate quality improvement in 🫁 txp

.@SJKesseli et al. conclude that preoperative embolization is an effective modality to mitigate exsanguinating blood loss during multivisceral #transplant in patients with portomesenteric thrombosis. https://t.co/PHqiBNsXT0

[Liver Transplantation Journal (LTxJournal) @LTxJournal]

⭐️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

[Liver Transplantation Journal (LTxJournal) @LTxJournal]

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
