A Rare Case of Jejunal Perforation due to Post-transplant Lymphoproliferative Disease 27 Years after Liver Transplant

Authors: Marcos Rosado, DO, Thomas Serena, DO, Zophia Martinez, DO, Erich Schwartz, MD, and Harris Mainster, DO

Abstract: Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) is a well-known post-transplant malignancy common in both solid organ and stem cell transplants. The incidence of PTLD in adult liver transplant recipients is approximately 2.8%. While most often presenting in the first year after transplant, PTLD can occur at any time. This case report narrates a 61-year-old female with a history of liver transplant in 1992 for autoimmune hepatitis that was found to have a jejunal perforation due to PTLD 27 years later.

Salvage of Solitary Renal Autotransplant with Early Graft Thrombosis and Abdominal Mesh Closure

Authors: Morwan Bahi, MB ChB, Lucy Guazzo, BSci MB BS MS, Dilip Naik, MB ChB FRACS and Imad Aljanabi, MB ChB FRACS

Abstract: Fibromuscular dysplasia is a common cause of non-atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis in the young patient population leading to resistant hypertension. This is typically diagnosed radiologically and is often less responsive to endovascular revascularisation given the non-atherosclerotic nature of stenosis. As a result, surgery may be the only durable option for patients whereby hypertension is uncontrolled by medical management.

Bronchial Artery Embolization as a Bridge to Lung Transplantation

Authors: A Singhal, MD, C King, MD, H Mani, MD, and AW Brown, MD

Abstract: Hemoptysis is a common complication in cystic fibrosis (CF), affecting approximately 8% of patients. Massive hemoptysis occurs in 4% of CF patients and accounts for 8.5% of deaths in patients without lung transplantation. Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) is a life-saving intervention in patients with airway compromise or hemodynamic instability from hemoptysis. Despite the effectiveness
