Simple Separate Sutures Versus Continuous Sutures on Hepatic Artery Anastomosis in Liver Transplant: A Prospective Study.

Objectives: Liver transplant is the definitive treatment for liver failure of various causes. There are various operation methods, of which the conventional approach is most frequently performed. In the conventional technique, 4 anastomoses are required, and different subtleties in these techniques are known to cause different rates of complications.

Efficiency of iron modified peels biochar as a novel adsorbent for methylene blue dye abatement from aqueous phase: equilibrium and kinetic studies.

Herein, a magnetic biochar adsorbent based on discarded peels impregnated with precursor FeCl6HO was fabricated and probed as a low-cost adsorbent for toxic cationic dye methylene blue (MB). The textural characterization of magnetic biochar (PMBC) obtained from BET analysis exhibited its mesoporous nature with S of 133.960 m/g.

Endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in a patient with previous history of simultaneous orthotopic liver kidney transplantation.

Management of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) tends to be an issue in patients with a previous history of abdominal transplantation surgeries. Open surgery poses the risk of ischemia to the grafted tissue. Additionally, these patients have comorbidities that make them unable to endure such procedures.

Study of re-transplantation and prognosis in liver transplant center in Iran.

Aim: This this study aimed to investigate the causes and prognoses of liver re-transplantation in patients referred to Imam Khomeini Hospital Liver Transplantation Center.

Background: Organ shortage is a major problem in the world, a high demand for liver transplantation has exacerbated this problem. Thus, providing more information on the causes of liver re-transplantation, its prognosis, and other issues related to this procedure is of great importance.

Catastrophic Brain Aspergillosis after Liver Transplantation.

. Liver transplantation has many complications. Because of receiving immunosuppressive regimens, infectious complications in these patients may have fatal results.

Orthotopic Liver Transplantation for Etanercept-induced Acute Hepatic Failure: A Case Report.

Occurrence of hepatotoxicity following prescription of etanercept, a tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) antagonist, is a relatively well-known issue. On the other hand, acute hepatic failure which could lead to liver transplantation is extremely rare to the best of our knowledge, and there is no previously published case in the literature. In this article, we presented a case of acute liver failure followed by liver transplantaion, in a 32- year old man with a previous history of ankylosing spondylitis after etanercept usage.

Safety and Efficacy of Early Oral Feeding after Liver Transplantation with Roux-en-Y Choledochojejunostomy: A Single-Center Experience.

Background: Early oral feeding, as one of the most important components of multimodal strategies referred to as Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS), is now widely adopted for optimization of post-operative recovery of surgical patients.

Objective: To assess ERAS outcome in patients who underwent liver transplantation in our center.

Methods: In a prospective study, patients who underwent liver transplantation from April 2015 to June 2018 at Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex, affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran, were enrolled in this study.

Impact of reperfusion with blood venting on liver transplantation outcomes; a prospective case-control study.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of two different reperfusion techniques on outcomes of LT patients.

Background: Post-reperfusion syndrome (PRS) during liver transplantation (LT) remains a serious issue for both the surgeon and anesthetist.

Methods: In this prospective study, all liver transplant recipients referred to the liver transplantation department of Imam Khomeini Hospital, Tehran, Iran, from January 2016 to June 2017 were enrolled in the study and were divided into two groups of vented (reperfusion with 300cc blood venting) and non-vented (reperfusion without blood venting) cases.

Factors Associated With Length of Hospital Stay Following Liver Transplant Surgery.

Objectives: Length of stay is considered an important surrogate for transplant survival rate and resource utilization. Therefore, in the present study, our aim was to determine factors affecting length of hospital stay.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed records of patients who underwent liver transplant at the Tehran University of Medical Sciences Liver Transplantation Center from March 2014 to March 2016.

The effect of stellate ganglion block on the function of arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis: A randomized trial.

Background And Purpose: The best access for hemodialysis is an autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF). The most helpful way for vasodilation in the upper limb is stellate ganglion block. We aim to evaluate the effect of stellate ganglion block on outcome of vascular access for dialysis.

Transplantation of Deceased Donor Livers With Elevated Levels of Serum Transaminases at Shiraz Transplant Center.

Background: The current organ shortage has prompted the use of marginal organs. We conducted this retrospective study to present our experience with transplanting deceased donor livers with elevated levels of serum transaminases and to explain whether elevated levels of serum transaminases in donors affect allograft function and survival of the recipients.

Methods: Data of deceased donor livers and patients, who underwent liver transplantation from March 2013 to March 2015 at Shiraz center for organ transplantation, was reviewed.

Hydatid cyst of fallopian tube.

Echinococcosis is a common disease in the Middle East region and is in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions in patients of this area. Liver and lung are commonly involved. Infection of unusual sites can cause difficulties in diagnosis.

Patient outcomes in a liver transplant program in Iran.

Objectives: The first liver transplant program in Tehran was started at Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2002. The purpose of this study was to evaluate patient outcomes in this program.

Materials And Methods: From January 2002 to February 2013, there were 172 deceased-donor orthotopic liver transplants performed in 166 patients, including revision transplant in 6 patients.

Establishing a liver transplantation program at Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran: a report of ten years of experience.

In 2001, a Liver Transplantation (LT) program was commenced in Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex as the first one in the capital city of Tehran which is the second liver transplantation center in Iran. This study presents the results of our 10-year experience with LT.
