Item Early noninvasive measurement of the indocyanine green plasma disappearance rate accurately predicts early graft dysfunction and mortality after deceased donor liver transplantation(Liver Transpl., 2009) Olmedilla, Luis; Pérez Peña, José María; Ripoll, Cristina; Garutti Martínez, Ignacio; De Diego, Roberto; Salcedo Plaza, María Magdalena; Jiménez, Consuelo; Bañares Cañizares, RafaelEarly diagnosis of graft dysfunction in liver transplantation is essential for taking appropriate action. Indocyanine green clearance is closely related to liver function and can be measured noninvasively by spectrophotometry. The objectives of this study were to prospectively analyze the relationship between the indocyanine green plasma disappearance rate (ICGPDR) and early graft function after liver transplantation and to evaluate the role of ICGPDR in the prediction of severe graft dysfunction (SGD). One hundred seventy-two liver transplants from deceased donors were analyzed. Ten patients had SGD: 6 were retransplanted, and 4 died while waiting for a new graft. The plasma disappearance rate was measured 1 hour (PDRr60) and within the first 24 hours (PDR1) after reperfusion, and it was significantly lower in the SGD group. PDRr60 and PDR1 were excellent predictors of SGD. A threshold PDRr60 value of 10.8%/minute and a PDR1 value of 10%/minute accurately predicted SGD with areas under the receiver operating curve of 0.94 (95% confidence interval, 0.89-0.97) and 0.96 (95% confidence interval, 0.92-0.98), respectively. In addition, survival was significantly lower in patients with PDRr60 values below 10.8%/minute (53%, 47%, and 47% versus 95%, 94%, and 90% at 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively) and with PDR1 values below 10%/minute (62%, 62%, and 62% versus 94%, 92%, and 88%). In conclusion, very early noninvasive measurement of ICGPDR can accurately predict early severe graft dysfunction and mortality after liver transplantation.Item Clinical Utility of a Risk-Adapted Protocol for the Evaluation of Coronary Artery Disease in Liver Transplant Recipients(Liver Transplantation, 2019) Romero Cristóbal, Mario; Mombiela Remirez de Gamuza, Teresa; Caballero, Aranzazu; Fernández Yunquera, Ainhoa; Díaz Fontenla, Fernando; Rincón Rodríguez, Diego; Ripoll, Cristina; Bermejo Thomas, Francisco Javier; Vega Catalina, María; Matilla, Ana María; Ibañez Samaniego, Luis; Pérez Peña, José; López Baena, José Ángel; Díaz Zorita, Benjamín; Fernández-Avilés Díaz, Francisco Jesús; Salcedo Plaza, María Magdalena; Bañares Cañizares, RafaelThe prevalence and management of coronary artery disease (CAD) in liver transplantation (LT) candidates are not well characterized. The aims of this study were to evaluate the impact on clinical outcomes of a specifically designed protocol for the management of asymptomatic CAD in LT candidates and to investigate noninvasive risk profiles for obstructive and nonobstructive CAD for 202 LT candidates. Those with high baseline cardiovascular risk (CVR; defined by the presence of classic CVR factors and/or decreased ejection fraction) received coronary angiography and significant arterial stenosis and were treated with percutaneous stents. Patients were followed up after LT until death or coronary event (CE). There were 78 patients who received coronary evaluation (62 direct angiography, 14 computed tomography coronary angiography, and 2 both). Of them, 39 (50%) patients had CAD of any severity, and 6 (7.7%) had significant lesions (5 were amenable to be treated with stents, whereas 1 patient had diffuse lesions which contraindicated the LT). Insulin-dependent diabetes was the only factor related to CAD of any severity (odds ratio, 3.44; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00-11.97). A total of 69 patients (46 with coronary evaluation) received LT. The incidence of CEs and overall survival after LT were similar between patients with and without coronary evaluation. Furthermore, no differences occurred between these groups in a multivariate competing risk model (subhazard ratio, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.27-2.61; P = 0.76). In conclusion, the application of an angiographic screening protocol of CAD in a selected high-risk Mediterranean population is safe and effective. The short- and medium-term incidence rates of CEs and death after LT in this population are similar to that observed in low-risk patients.
