“…However, despite the increase in MACE associated with decreased FFR CT , there was no observed increase in mortality. 31 Both studies demonstrate that commonly used noninvasive imaging techniques for evaluating cardiovascular fitness for KTx can have accuracy limitations in predicting CAD and clinical outcomes. More research is needed in this area to improve screening protocols.…”

“…30 In another study of 340 KTx candidates, the results of coronary computed tomography angiography were used to calculate fractional flow reserve (FFR CT ), the ratio of maximum blood flow in the diseased coronary artery compared to the theoretical maximum in a normal coronary artery. 31 FFR CT was then correlated to incidence of MACE and mortality. In this study, FFR CT ≤.75 was associated with an increased incidence of MACE compared to patients with FFR CT >.80 (HR 3.8, 95% CI: 1.5-9.7, P < .01).…”

This review highlights noteworthy literature published in 2022 pertinent to anesthesiologists and critical care physicians caring for patients undergoing abdominal organ transplantation. We begin by exploring the impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had across the field of abdominal organ transplantation, including the successful use of grafts procured from COVID-19-infected donors. In pancreatic transplantation, we highlight several studies on dexmedetomidine and ischemia-reperfusion injury, equity in transplantation, and medical management, as well as studies comparing pancreatic transplantation to islet cell transplantation. In our section on intestinal transplantation, we explore donor selection. Kidney transplantation topics include cardiovascular risk management, obesity, and intraoperative management, including fluid resuscitation, dexmedetomidine, and sugammadex. The liver transplantation section focuses on clinical trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses published in 2022 and covers a wide range of topics, including machine perfusion, cardiovascular issues, renal issues, and coagulation/transfusion.
