Longitudinal evaluation of mycophenolic acid pharmacokinetics in pediatric kidney transplant recipients. The role of post-transplant clinical and therapeutic variables.

16 Dec 2009 This longitudinal study assessed the influence of post-transplant clinical and therapeutic variables in 50 kidney transplant recipients aged 2-19 yr receiving a triple immunosuppressive regimen consisting of cyclosporine microemulsion (CsA), ... Read more...

Assessment of liver graft function and regeneration by galactosyl-human serum albumin (99mTc-GSA) liver scintigraphy in adult living-donor liver transplantation.

14 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: In adult living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT), the assessment of the graft functional reserve is very important. We evaluated the graft functional reserve by technetium-99m-diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid-galactosyl-human serum ... Read more...

Acute success of cryoablation of left-sided accessory pathways: a single institution study.

13 Dec 2009 OBJECTIVE: To compare the acute success and recurrence rate of cryoablation for left-sided accessory pathways (AP) with controls who underwent radiofrequency ablation (RFA) at the same institution. BACKGROUND: Catheter cryoablation of ... Read more...
