ABO blood type compatibility did not play a role in corneal transplant failure stemming from graft rejection in low-risk cases. Investigators aimed to determine whether ABO compatibility affected ...

Transplantation of hearts from ABO-incompatible donors is contraindicated because of the risk of hyperacute rejection mediated by preformed antibodies in the recipient to blood-group antigens of the ...

There is no consensus on the best method of managing ABO-incompatible BMT. 18 The most commonly used strategy is red cell depletion. Herein, we report on the safety of recipient plasma exchange ...

ABO incompatibility between donor and recipient is not a contraindication to allogeneic haematopoietic SCT (HSCT). However, a number of immunohaematological issues must be carefully considered and ...

Toronto, ON - Researchers at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children report that their recent switch to using the first available size-appropriate heart for neonates and infants regardless of ABO blood ...

Toronto, ON - Hearts from ABO-incompatible donors can be safely transplanted into infants before they develop the natural antibodies that trigger hyperacute rejection, a new report suggests. In the ...

A pediatric heart transplant procedure pioneered by Canadian doctors--once deemed impossible--has been shown to be at least as effective as the traditional approach, according to newly published ...

Dorry Segev, MD MARCO ISLAND, Fla.—A brief escalation in immunosuppression without long-term B-cell depletion may provide excellent long-term patient and graft survival after ABO-incompatible (ABOi) ...

ABO-incompatible heart transplantation (heart transplantation among noncompatible blood groups) can be safely performed in infants a year old or younger, researchers report. ABO-incompatible heart ...

A pediatric heart transplant procedure pioneered by Canadian doctors--once deemed impossible--has been shown to be at least as effective as the traditional approach, according to newly published ...

Rejection was avoided for a few days using novel protocols. A pioneering technique has led to conversion of a human blood type-A donor kidney to type-O for transplantation into a type-O patient with ...

Background Transplantation of hearts from ABO-incompatible donors is contraindicated because of the risk of hyperacute rejection mediated by preformed antibodies in the recipient to blood-group ...
