Does pancreas storage in oxygenated perfluorodecalin restore post-transplant function of isolated pig islets pre-damaged by warm ischemia?
The present study suggests that pancreas short-term storage in oxygenated PFD improves in vitro but not the in vivo function of ischemically damaged pig islets.
CMV(+) serology at time of pediatric heart transplantation had no demonstrable association with death or development of CAV. CMV(-) recipients who receive a CMV(+) organ are at increased risk of clinical CMV disease. CMV prophylaxis was commonly used, although further studies are needed to establish an optimal approach for prevention of CMV disease in this population.
