conferenceObject Combined Liver Kidney Transplantation at a Brazilian Universitary Hospital(2012) NACIF, Lucas Souto; ANDRAUS, Wellington; PUGLIESE, Vincenzo; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz Augusto CarneiroIntroduction: Combined liver and kidney transplantation (CLKT) may be an option for treatment in patients with liver and kidney failure. It has been proven to be a favorable treatment for renal and hepatic end-stage diseases and it has been observed an increasing in the number of cases reported in the literature. Several transplant centers have reported their experiences of CLKT, and it is suggested that the transplanted liver can offer a protective immunologic effect on the kidney allograft. Here we present the experience and results of 27 CLKTs performed in our center. Methods: The clinical data of 27 CLKTs were retrospectively studied on period of January 2002 to December 2010, on the Department of Gastroenterology on Sao Paulo University School of Medicine. Results: We analyzed, within 8 years (2002 - 2010) retrospectively, all transplants performed in cases of CLKT . Among a total of 27 cases, 20 were men (66%) and 7 were women (33%). Ages ranged from 23 years to 65 years (mean age 44 years). The initial value of the MELD score (Model for End-Stage Liver Disease) ranged from 14 to 41 (mean MELD 27.5). In our 8 years of follow-up mortality rate was 33% and patient survival of 66%. Conclusion: CLKT is an effective therapy for end stage liver (ESLD) and kidney disease (ESRD).conferenceObject Validation of Preoperative Coefficient Factor for Graft Weight Estimation in Living Donor Liver Transplantation(2013) PINHEIRO, Rafael S.; PECORA, Rafael A.; ANDRAUS, Wellington; MARTINS, Rodrigo B.; DAVID, Andre I.; HADDAD, Luciana B.; ARANTES, Rubens M.; SANTOS, Rafael M.; CRUZ JR., Ruy J.; PUGLIESE, Vincenzo; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz A.

It is one of the most serious vascular complications in the postoperative period of liver transplantation (LT) and is associated with a significant increasing in morbidity, graft loss and mortality. Methods: This study was retrospectively on period of November 2009 to December 2011, on the Gastroenterology Department of Sao Paulo University School of Medicine. Results: In this period of the analysis we obtained 18 cases of hepatic artery thrombosis that correspond to 7, 4%, of a total of 243 liver transplantation in this period. Seven cases before 15 days (early arterial thrombosis) and eleven cases of late arterial thrombosis. In the early group, 4 of 7 cases were women and 3 were men. The MELD score (Model for End-Stage Liver Disease) average was 28.14. The survival rate of retransplantation of this group was 86% in this period. On the other hand, in the late group, among the 11 cases (5 women and 6 men), six were transplanted, two died and three cases are still waiting transplantation. Conclusion: Our cases are in agreement with the literature. Early indication of retransplantation has better results.conferenceObject Femoral Hernia and Massive Ascites(2013) PINHEIRO, Rafael S.; ANDRAUS, Wellington; PECORA, Rafael A.; HADDAD, Luciana B.; DAVID, Andre I.; NACIF, Lucas; MARTINS, Rodrigo B.; CRUZ JR., Ruy J.; PUGLIESE, Vincenzo; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz A. C.conferenceObject Impact of the Severity of End-Stage Liver Disease in Cardiac Remodeling(2012) SILVESTRE, O. M.; BACAL, F.; FARIAS, A. Q.; ANDRADE, J. L.; FURTADO, M.; PUGLIESE, V.; ANDRAUS, W.; RAMOS, D. S.; BELLETI, E.; ALBUQUERQUE, L. A. C.; CARRILHO, F. J.Purpose: The impact of end-stage liver disease (ESLD) in cardiac remodeling of patients with cirrhosis is unknown. Our aim was to correlate the severity of ESLD with morphologic and functional heart changes. Methods and Materials: 184 patients underwent a protocol providing data on the severity of ESLD and undergoing echocardiography to assess the diameters of the left atrium and right ventricle; the systolic and diastolic diameters of the left ventricle, interventricular septum, and posterior wall of the left ventricle; systolic pulmonary artery pressure; ejection fraction; and diastolic function. Severity of ESLD was assessed by the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score. Results: Left-atrial diameter (r=0.323; IC 95% 0.190-0.455; p<0.001), left-ventricular diastolic diameter (r=0.177; IC 95% 0.033-0.320; p=0.01) and systolic pulmonary artery pressure (r=0.185; IC 95% 0.036-0.335; p=0.02) significantly correlated with MELD score. Patients with MELD >16 had significantly higher left-atrial diameter and systolic pulmonary artery pressure, compared with patients with MELD scores <16 points. Conclusions: Changes in cardiac structure and function correlate with the severity of ESLD.conferenceObject Impact of the severity of end-stage liver disease in cardiac remodeling(2012) SILVESTRE, Odilson M.; BACAL, Fernando; RAMOS, Danusa; BELLETI, Elisangela; ANDRADE, Jose L.; PUGLIESE, Vincenzo; ANDRAUS, Wellington; FURTADO, Meive; CARRILHO, Flair J.; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz C.; FARIAS, Alberto Q.Background: The impact of end-stage liver disease (ESLD) severity in cardiac remodeling of patients with cirrhosis is unknown.
