Early Graft Failure

SummaryThrombogenicity of graft material is involved in early graft failure in small diameter grafts. The frequently seen postoperative swelling of the leg after distal revascularization may cause an increased intramuscular pressure and early graft failure.Pairs of 4 mm polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts were implanted. Autologous platelets were labeled with mIn-oxine. Platelet adhesiveness onto the grafts were analyzed from gamma camera images. Intramuscular pressures were measured with wick technique. Blood flow was measured. One graft served as control the other as test graft. Ninety minutes after declamping the i. m. pressure was increased in the test-leg to 30 mmHg, and later to 60 mmHg.In the control-graft platelet uptake increased to a maximum 60 min after declamping. Blood flow and i.m. pressure remained uneffected. The test-grafts were initially similar but when i.m. pressure was increased to 30 mmHg activity in the grafts increased significantly. Blood flow decreased with 12% of initial flow. When i. m. pressure was raised to 60 mmHg platelet uptake continued to increase.An increased intramuscular pressure of 30 mmHg or more significantly increase the amount of platelets adhering onto PTFE grafts, emphasizing the need for measuring intramuscular pressures after lower limb vascular revascularizations.

Early Graft

Background: Post-transplant Lymphopoliferative disorders(PTLD) are a well known late complication after solid organ transplantation including renal transplant. Among others, graft failure due to reactivation of BK polyoma virus in the grafted kidney is also a well recognized complication but tends to present early in the first several months after transplant. Case: Here we present the case of PTLD Burkitt's lymphoma(BL-PTLD) in a renal transplant patient who was successfully treated with multiagent chemo-immunotherapy but later developed BK polyoma virus nephropathy(BKVN) with graft failure only after completion of her systemic therapy for lymphoma and 7 years after transplant. Relevant literature is reviewed. Conclusion: In this case, reactivation and progression of BKVN was most likely associated with immunosuppression from chemoimmunotherapy for her BL–PTLD unlike early graft failures associated with BKVN.
