Great time at ISHLT discussing utilizing dd-cfDNA in the clinical setting for ling transplant recipients The ISHLT CareDx®

We’re excited to share our work showing relative changes in dd-cfDNA% above the reference change value more accurately detects ALAD than an absolute threshold >1% in lung transplant recipients pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37250487/ Ciara M.

Congratulations to Jonathan Singer and the UCSF group on their publication regarding the association between frailty and CLAD. It was an honor to write the accompanying editorial.Transplantation Frailty: A Strong Impact on Lung Transplant Outcomes? : journals.lww.com/transplantjour…

@VUMCLung Thank you!

Excited to share new work from our group led by terrific Vanderbilt PSTP/Harrison Society @VUMCLung fellow Scott McCall Hypoxia-inducible factor-2 (HIF2) regulates alveolar regeneration after repetitive injury biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So grateful to be able to work with these dedicated DTAC committee members to strive to improve the safety of organ transplantation. Stephanie Pouch Tanvi Sharma, MD, MPH Dong Heun Lee (이동흔) Anil J. Trindade Riki Graves, MHA Taylor Livelli United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS)

How to carefully select patients for VV #ECMO? #ECLS is not for all, resources are limited; to be balanced: ⚖️ costs staffing ICU beds ⚖️ patient survival Goal social justice, utility, respect for the person. ECMO mostly aimed as bridge to recovery: Who will cross the bridge?

Congratulations to Kaitlyn Chapin, APRN on her initial first-author paper. We examined risk factors for and outcomes of extubation failure in lung txp recipients. Ciara M. Shaver Alex Dragnich Whitney Gannon . nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

Congrats to the Dr. Agbor-Enoh Omics Lab for their insightful work using cf-DNA to assess the recipient inflammatory milieu and use that to prognosticate post-txp outcomes. I’m honored to write the accompanying editorial. atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.116… and atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…
