Despite the significant morbidity associated with renal failure after lung transplantation (LTx), no predictive models currently exist. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to develop a preoperative risk score based on recipient-, donor-, and transplant-specific characteristics to predict postoperative acute renal failure in candidates for transplantation.

A risk score to predict acute renal failure in adult patients after lung transplantation.

This study evaluated the potential association of institutional volume with survival and mortality subsequent to major complications in a modern cohort of pediatric patients after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT).

The Effect of Institutional Volume on Complications and Their Impact on Mortality After Pediatric Heart Transplantation.

Loeys-Deitz syndrome (LDS) is a connective tissue disorder characterized by aggressive aortopathy with a proclivity for aortic aneurysmal rupture and dissection. Prophylactic surgical intervention is often indicated to ameliorate risk of aneurysm rupture. Aortic root replacement involves excision of the coronary arteries from the aortic root with a button of surrounding aortic tissue and subsequent anastomosis of these buttons to the synthetic aortic graft. We report the case of a 16-year-old girl with LDS who developed pseudoaneurysms at the sites of previous coronary button implantation.

Coronary Button Pseudoaneurysms After Aortic Root Replacement in a Child With Loeys-Deitz Syndrome.

Although tricuspid valve detachment (TVD) facilitates improved exposure during transatrial ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure, few have analyzed the impact of TVD on long-term valve durability.
