ECMO after prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation as a successful bridge to immediate cardiac retransplant in a 6-year-old girl.
Heart failure, life-threatening arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death are common complications in patients with advanced chronic cardiac allograft rejection--the major limiting factor of long-term survival after heart transplant. In patients with sustained cardiorespiratory arrest refractory to cardiopulmonary resuscitation extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy is a therapeutic option. We...
متن کاملRole of photopheresis in the treatment of refractory cellular rejection in kidney transplantation.
Extracorporeal photopheresis is an immunomodulatory technique based on the apoptotic effects of 8methoxypsoralen (8 MOP) and ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation on leukocytes. This technique is widely used in T-cell mediated disorders such as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, graft-versus-host disease, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. The use of this technique in the prophylaxis of acu...
متن کاملGuidelines on the use of extracorporeal photopheresis
BACKGROUND After the first investigational study on the use of extracorporeal photopheresis for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma was published in 1983 with its subsequent recognition by the FDA for its refractory forms, the technology has shown significant promise in the treatment of other severe and refractory conditions in a multi-disciplinary setting. Among the major studied condit...
متن کاملExtracorporeal Photopheresis: Scientific and Technical Considerations for Improving Clinical Management of Patients
Starting at the end of 90’s, and derived from PUVA therapy, arose the concept of modulation of inappropriate immune conflicts by direct action of UVA on immunocompetent cells (lymphocytes, antigen processing cells). After the inactivation of T-cells in vitro and ex vivo, was demonstrated, the development step-by-step aimed to process large amounts of the so-called peripheral mononuclear cells. ...
متن کاملExtracorporeal photopheresis promotes IL-1β production.
Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is a widely used clinical cell-based therapy exhibiting efficacy in heterogenous immune-mediated diseases such as cutaneous T cell lymphoma, graft-versus-host disease, and organ allograft rejection. Despite its documented efficacy in cancer immunotherapy, little is known regarding the induction of immunostimulatory mediators by ECP. In this article, we show th...
