Liver transplantation for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis: the new epidemic
Vatche G. Agopian,Fady M. Kaldas,Johnny C. Hong,Meredith Whittaker,Curtis Holt,Abbas Rana,Ali Zarrinpar,Henrik Petrowsky,Douglas G. Farmer,Hasan Yersiz,Victor W. Xia,Jonathan R. Hiatt,Ronald W. Busuttil +12 more
TL;DR: Analysis of incidence, outcomes, and utilization of health care resources in liver transplantation (LT) for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) reports the largest single institution experience of LT for NASH.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel prognostic nomogram accurately predicts hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence after liver transplantation: analysis of 865 consecutive liver transplant recipients.
Vatche G. Agopian,Michael P. Harlander-Locke,Ali Zarrinpar,Fady M. Kaldas,Douglas G. Farmer,Hasan Yersiz,Richard S. Finn,Myron J. Tong,Jonathan R. Hiatt,Ronald W. Busuttil +9 more
TL;DR: In the largest single-institution experience with LT for HCC, excellent long-term survival was achieved and incorporation of routine pretransplantation biomarkers to existing radiographic size criteria significantly improves the ability to predict post-transplant recurrence, and should be considered in recipient selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of liver transplantation during 3 decades: analysis of 5347 consecutive liver transplants at a single center.
Vatche G. Agopian,Henrik Petrowsky,Fady M. Kaldas,Ali Zarrinpar,Douglas G. Farmer,Hasan Yersiz,Curtis Holt,Michael P. Harlander-Locke,Johnny C. Hong,Abbas Rana,Robert S. Venick,Sue V. McDiarmid,Leonard I. Goldstein,Francisco Durazo,Sammy Saab,Steven Han,Victor W. Xia,Jonathan R. Hiatt,Ronald W. Busuttil +18 more
TL;DR: Despite increasing acuity in post-MELD era recipients, patient and graft survival continues to improve, justifying the “sickest first” allocation approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytoprotective gene bi-1 is required for intrinsic protection from endoplasmic reticulum stress and ischemia-reperfusion injury
Béatrice Bailly-Maitre,Constantino Fondevila,Fady M. Kaldas,Nathalie Droin,Frederic Luciano,Jean-Ehrland Ricci,Rhonda Croxton,Maryla Krajewska,Juan M. Zapata,Jerzy W. Kupiec-Weglinski,Douglas G. Farmer,John C. Reed +11 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that BI-1 provides endogenous protection of liver and kidney from ER stress and IR injury, and analysis of components of the bi-1-dependent pathway for protection from IR injury may reveal new strategies for organ preservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Liver transplantation in highest acuity recipients: identifying factors to avoid futility.
Henrik Petrowsky,Abbas Rana,Fady M. Kaldas,Anuj Sharma,Johnny C. Hong,Vatche G. Agopian,Francisco Durazo,Henry M. Honda,Jeffrey Gornbein,Victor Wu,Douglas G. Farmer,Jonathan R. Hiatt,Ronald W. Busuttil +12 more
TL;DR: Cardiac risk, pretransplant septic shock, and comorbidities are the most important predictors and can be used for risk stratification in these highest acuity recipients.
