Enhancing DCD Utilization With Thrombolytic Therapy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating rTPA Treatment and No TPA Treatment for Liver Transplantation and Kidney Transplantation. Completed, enrolled 103 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
We hypothesize that delayed graft function and ITBS events may be related to small blood clots (microthrombi) that collect in the kidneys and liver after cardiac death. Treatment of the DCD organs with a thrombolytic agent prior to implantation may reduce post-transplant morbidity and mortality, and may ultimately result in a greater number of transplantable livers and kidneys.
