“…6,7 As expected, the interquartile range of MFI of the DSAs included in this study and in the Toronto study was larger than that in the BWH and Foch studies. 4,[6][7][8] Although MFI as a measure of DSA strength is semiquantitative at best and cannot necessarily be compared directly between centers, 9 the inclusion of DSAs of MFI as high as 11 987 in this study at least indicates that higher immunological risk DSAs may also be crossed safely at the time of transplant with perioperative desensitization. 8 Second, plasmapheresis was initiated postoperatively for DSA-positive transplants in this study, 8 which differs from the Toronto study (started intraoperatively) 4 and the Foch study (started preoperatively).…”
