Noninvasive evaluation of cardiac allograft rejection by cellular and functional cardiac magnetic resonance.
OBJECTIVES We sought to use cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to establish sensitive and reliable indexes for noninvasive detection of acute cardiac allograft rejection. BACKGROUND Appropriate surveillance for acute allograft rejection is vitally important for graft survival. The current gold standard for diagnosing and staging rejection after organ transplantation is endomyocardial biopsy, wh...
متن کاملNon-invasive molecular imaging of inflammatory macrophages in allograft rejection.
BACKGROUND Macrophages represent a critical cell type in host defense, development and homeostasis. The ability to image non-invasively pro-inflammatory macrophage infiltrate into a transplanted organ may provide an additional tool for the monitoring of the immune response of the recipient against the donor graft. We therefore decided to image in vivo sialoadhesin (Sn, Siglec 1 or CD169) using ...
متن کاملNon-invasive approaches for the diagnosis of acute cardiac allograft rejection.
Despite modern immunosuppressive regimes, acute rejection remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in heart transplant recipients. Clinical features are unreliable, and therefore, screening is performed in order to detect rejection, and hence, augment immunosuppressive therapy, at an early stage, with the aim of reducing short- and long-term sequelae. Histological analysis of right ve...
متن کاملNon-invasive cardiac output monitoring.
Outcomes in the management of critically ill patients may be improved using goal-directed peri-operative haemodynamic monitoring. A conservative approach may no longer be acceptable but in view of the significant morbidity associated with balloon tipped flow directed pulmonary artery catheters a non-invasive approach would be preferable. In this review we consider the different non-invasive tec...
متن کاملAcute allograft rejection: cellular and humoral processes.
Acute cellular rejection affects greater than one-third of lung transplant recipients. Alloreactive T-lymphocytes constitute the basis of lung allograft rejection. Recent evidence supports a more complex immune response to the allograft. Interaction between recipient genetics, immunosuppression therapies, and allograft environmental exposures likely contribute to high rejection rates after lung...
