Explore Noninvasive Rejection Monitoring in Single Lung Transplantation; A SLAM Study Overview Presented by Natera
ISHLT Voices
In this episode of the ISHLT Voices podcast, hosted by , you’ll hear a discussion on the need for noninvasive surveillance options for single lung transplantation and the role that the Prospera Lung donor derived cell free DNA (dd-cfDNA) test can play. There are inherent, increased risks and challenges associated with management of single lung transplantation over double lung. Monitoring through invasive transbronchial biopsy procedures (TBBx) is often not the best option for these high-risk, frail patients. In this podcast, notable transplant pulmonologists Drs. Rosenheck and Arunachalam...

Trio of Insights: Commentary on the TRIFECTA Studies Analyzing Three Rejection Diagnostic Tools in Heart, Lung, and Kidney Transplantation, From Natera
ISHLT Voices
Presented by Natera returns with another ISHLT Voices podcast. Post-transplant monitoring with noninvasive donor derived cell free DNA (dd-cfDNA) has been growing in popularity and usage with several transplant centers significantly reducing surveillance biopsies in favor of a single blood test. But, as with all new technology, there are outstanding questions to understand how and why the technology works as well as it does. In this episode, leading investigators from the Alberta Transplant Applied Genomics Centre (ATAGC), Drs. Phil Halloran, Kieran Halloran, and Patrick Gauthier will walk...

Exploratory Evidence Supports Use of Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA to Monitor Pediatric Heart Transplant Recipients, From Natera
ISHLT Voices
Presented by Natera In this episode of the ISHLT Voices podcast, Dr. Shri Deshpande, a cardiologist at the National Children’s Hospital in Washington, DC USA, discusses his work on improving the care of pediatric heart transplant patients. Dr. Deshpande's research focuses on the use of cell-free DNA in monitoring transplant recipients for rejection. He explains that cell-free DNA, released when cells break down, can be detected in the bloodstream and used as a non-invasive screening tool to assess the health of transplanted organs. The discussion covers the external...
