- Clinical Outcomes of Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease After Liver Transplantation for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. [Journal Article]Transplantation. 2026 Oct 21. [Online ahead of print]T
- CONCLUSIONS: After LTx for PSC, patients remain at substantial risk of colorectal neoplasia and de novo IBD. PSC-IBD is associated with a higher risk of disease recurrence. These findings support continued endoscopic surveillance and close monitoring of IBD activity.

- National Evaluation of the Updated ISHLT Early Graft Dysfunction Framework in Adult Heart Transplantation: Diagnostic Migration, Attrition, and Prognostic Implications. [Journal Article]Transplantation. 2026 Oct 21. [Online ahead of print]T
- CONCLUSIONS: The updated EGD framework reclassified most previous PGD-LV cases as non-EGD, yet many reclassified recipients remained at elevated risk for graft failure and mortality. These findings reveal a substantial gap between the updated consensus criteria and current registry data, driven largely by failure to satisfy concurrent physiologic criteria required for EGD-LV classification.

- CONCLUSIONS: In this highly selected case series, acceptable long-term survival was observed after single LDLLT from the same donor as prior HSCT under reduced immunosuppression, and immunosuppression was successfully withdrawn in 3 patients.

- Impact of Donor Obesity on Outcomes in Living Donor Liver Transplantation: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. [Journal Article]Transplantation. 2026 Oct 12. [Online ahead of print]T
- CONCLUSIONS: In carefully screened candidates, obesity alone should not preclude living liver donation. The excess wound morbidity and readmission argue for enhanced prophylaxis and surveillance after discharge rather than for donor exclusion.

- Prolonged Donor Warm Ischemia in Pure Laparoscopic Donor Right Hepatectomy Is Associated With Increased Recipient Biliary Stricture Risk: A Retrospective Cohort Study. [Journal Article]Transplantation. 2026 Oct 12. [Online ahead of print]T
- CONCLUSIONS: Prolonged DWIT appears to increase the risk of recipient biliary strictures, suggesting that minimizing DWIT in laparoscopic donor hepatectomy could help optimize outcomes.

- Urine Ammonium During Normothermic Machine Perfusion as a Marker of Donor Kidney Function. [Journal Article]Transplantation. 2026 Oct 08. [Online ahead of print]T
- CONCLUSIONS: Urine ammonium during NMP may provide additional functional information about kidney graft quality. Its association with posttransplant function supports further investigation as a potential adjunct to current assessment criteria.

- Establishing a Platform for 1-Wk Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Donor Livers. [Journal Article]Transplantation. 2026 Oct 01. [Online ahead of print]T
- CONCLUSIONS: Seven-day preservation of porcine and human livers using the LTP protocol in an unmodified, commercial perfusion system is feasible; thus, the model system is suitable for treating and recovering livers, which may help to limit global organ shortage.
