Treating rare tumors with liver transplantation
Curr Opin Organ Transplant. 2023 Oct 19. doi: 10.1097/MOT.0000000000001118. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: The success of liver transplantation (LT) in treating unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has resulted in interest in LT for other oncologic conditions. Here, we discuss the role of LT for rare oncologic indications including metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs), hepatic epitheliod hemangioendothelioma (HEHE), fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLC), and hepatic angiosarcoma (HAS).RECENT FINDINGS: Conditions reviewed have been documented indications for LT i...

Optimizing the pediatric transplant candidate
Curr Opin Organ Transplant. 2023 Oct 13. doi: 10.1097/MOT.0000000000001115. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: Advances in pediatric transplant parallel those in adult populations; however, there remain critical unique considerations and differences that require specialized knowledge and a specific skill set to optimize care afforded to the pediatric transplant candidate. We introduce general themes regarding optimization of the transplant candidate that are unique to children.RECENT FINDINGS: The pathologies leading to pediatric organ transplant candidacy differ from adults and a precise understanding of the...

Current opinion: advances in machine perfusion and preservation of vascularized composite allografts - will time still matter?
Curr Opin Organ Transplant. 2023 Oct 13. doi: 10.1097/MOT.0000000000001107. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: A major hurdle hindering more widespread application of reconstructive transplantation is the very limited cold ischemia time (CIT) of vascularized composite allografts (VCAs). In this review, we discuss cutting edge machine perfusion protocols and preservation strategies to overcome this limitation.RECENT FINDINGS: Several preclinical machine perfusion studies have demonstrated the multifactorial utility of this technology to extend preservation windows, assess graft viability prior to transplantati...
