Staged Reconstruction Of The Inferior Vena Cava After Gunshot Injury, Nathan M. Droz, John K. Bini, Kamran A. Jafree, John H. Matsuura

Department of Surgery Faculty Publications

A 23-year-old man with a gunshot injury to the abdomen and cardiac arrest requiring emergency department thoracotomy had a transection of the distal inferior vena cava (IVC) and small bowel injury. Because of persistent hemorrhagic shock, the IVC was ligated. During the next 3 days, he developed worsening bilateral leg edema. He was taken back for reanastomosis of his small bowel and reconstruction of the IVC using autologous femoral vein harvested from the right leg. We think that patients requiring ligation of the vena cava with worsening leg edema can benefit from a staged reconstruction of the IVC.

Irreversible Electroporation Of Locally Recurrent Pancreatic Cancer With 5-Year Survival, Alyssa Deiters, Minia Hellan, Rebecca N. Tuttle, James R. Ouellette

Department of Surgery Faculty Publications

There are few, if any, reports regarding surgical resection of local pancreatic cancer recurrence. This is the first report of using irreversible electroporation (IRE) to treat a pancreatic adenocarcinoma local recurrence and represents a true 5-year survivor and possible cure.

Case report: A 50-year-old female initially presented with 2.5 cm mass in the uncinate process of the pancreas suspicious for malignancy.

A Randomized 2x2 Factorial Clinical Trial Of Renal Transplantation: Steroid-Free Maintenance Immunosuppression With Calcineurin Inhibitor Withdrawal After Six Months Associates With Improved Renal Function And Reduced Chronic Histopathology, R. Brian Stevens, Kirk W. Foster, Clifford D. Miles, Andre C. Kalil, Diana F. Florescu, John P. Sandoz, Theodore H. Rigley, Tamer Malik, Lucile E. Wrenshall

Department of Surgery Faculty Publications

Introduction

The two most significant impediments to renal allograft survival are rejection and the direct nephrotoxicity of the immunosuppressant drugs required to prevent it. Calcineurin inhibitors (CNI), a mainstay of most immunosuppression regimens, are particularly nephrotoxic. Until less toxic antirejection agents become available, the only option is to optimize our use of those at hand.

Aim

To determine whether intensive rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG) induction followed by CNI withdrawal would individually or combined improve graft function and reduce graft chronic histopathology–surrogates for graft and, therefore, patient survival. As previously reported, a single large rATG dose over 24 hours was well-tolerated …
