Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has become a major life-saving procedure for children with end-stage liver disease in Japan, whereas deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) has achieved only limited success. The annual number of pediatric liver transplantations is approximately 100-120, with a patient 20-year survival rate of 81.0%. I...

The initial costs of a CF-VAD exceed those of a PF-VAD. However, the safety profile of CF-VAD is superior and the possibility of outpatient device support may justify the additional initial costs. This study analyzed the cost-utility of CF-VAD use in the pediatric population. A Markov-state transition model was constructed for the clinical course o...

Multiple blood cell transfusions may cause iron overload or even liver fibrosis, requiring early diagnosis and intervention. SF is the standard for estimating iron levels in the body, but it also increases with inflammation. We hypothesized that T2 * magnetic resonance (MR) relaxometry is a more accurate alternative for follow-up in pediatric patie...

BKPyV is widely recognized in KTRs, but little is known about rates of primary and secondary JCPyV exposure in pediatric KTRs. We evaluated JCPyV exposure in pediatric KTRs using antibody responses in the first 12 months post-transplant. Of 46 children transplanted between 2009 and 2014, 6 lacked any samples for serologic testing, leaving 40 KTRs f...

Heart transplant providers often focus on post-transplant outcomes when making donor decisions, potentially at the expense of higher waitlist mortality. This study aimed to assess public opinion regarding the selection of donor hearts and the balance between pre- and post-transplant risk. The authors generated a survey to investigate public opinion...

PVT is the most frequent vascular complication after LT in small children, and a higher incidence has been observed in those transplanted for biliary atresia or with a LLSG. Thrombosis of the PV causes extrahepatic portal hypertension and is associated with splenomegaly and the development of venous neo-collaterals, including gastro-oesophageal var...
