    Episode 83: Consensus on Graft Dysfunction within 72 Hours After Heart Transplant

    JHLT: The Podcast starts May with an important ten-year update to a keystone document—the "ISHLT Consensus Conference on Graft Dysfunction within the First 72 Hours after Heart Transplantation." The consensus summary—and a perspective piece by the authors—appears in the May issue of JHLT, and is available in full on ISHLT.org. The podcast is happy to host conference leader and first author Jon Kobashigawa, MD, Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, to talk about the consensus document, the conference, and PGD. The conversation includes discussion of: Why the document needed updating and how consensus was achieved The revised severity scale for PGD and the omission of the vasoactive-inotropic score Changes from the old document, including: Newer predictors of PGD The latest donor preservation devices Updated treatment approaches For the latest studies from JHLT, visit www.jhltonline.org/current, or, if you're an ISHLT member, access your Journal membership at www.ishlt.org/jhlt.

    Episode 81: Lung Cancer after Lung Transplant

    JHLT: The Podcast kicks off April with a discussion of the paper, "Lung Cancer After Lung Transplantation: Early Detection and Curative Surgery Drive Long-Term Survival," which appears in the April issue of JHLT. Senior author Pauline Pradère, MD, of Hôpital Marie Lannelongue in Paris, joins the episode to talk about the paper. The conversation includes discussion of: The overall survival of patients who develop lung cancer after lung transplant—and the key differences between the cohort of patients who developed cancer versus the patients who did not Managing lung cancer in transplant recipients Immunosuppression in these patients, and other potential changes to clinical practice derived from the study For the latest studies from JHLT, visit www.jhltonline.org/current, or, if you're an ISHLT member, access your Journal membership at www.ishlt.org/jhlt.

    Episode 80: Solid Organ Transplantation and HIV Infection

    JHLT: The Podcast continues a themed month on HIV infection in solid organ transplant, building on our last episode's exploration from Dr. Saeed at Montefiore in New York. Our guest this episode is infectious diseases expert Cameron Wolfe, MD, Professor of Medicine at Duke University Medical Center. He joined us while on sabbatical with his family in Brisbane Australia for a conversation about how transplant centers now consider HIV infection, including transplant recipients who are HIV positive. The discussion explores: How the HOPE Act of 2013 changed practice in the United States, and how other countries have handled HIV transplantation regulations Immunosuppresion, antiviral therapy, and opportunistic infection in HIV+ transplant recipients Whether organ-specific surveillance changes in HIV+ patients The ethics of using organs from HIV+ donors and ensuring HIV+ patients are treated equitably For the latest studies from JHLT, visit www.jhltonline.org/current, or, if you're an ISHLT member, access your Journal membership at www.ishlt.org/jhlt.

    Episode 79: Early Experience in Heart Transplantation Using Donors with HIV

    This month on JHLT: The Podcast, the Digital Media Editors host two themed discussions around HIV in solid organ transplantation. The conversation begins with a discussion of the paper, "Early experience in heart transplantation utilizing donors with HIV," which appears in the March issue of JHLT.
