Is non-invasive detection of pulmonary hypertension prior to renal transplantation a predictor of increased risk for early graft dysfunction?
Pulmonary HTN detected on non-invasive imaging prior to renal transplantation appears to be an independent predictor of early graft dysfunction among those patients who receive a deceased donor kidney.
In our study we could not observe an increased risk for thromobembolic events in patients receiving tamoxifen while undergoing autologous microvascular breast reconstruction.
