INFECTIOUS DISEASES PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITY WEBINAR
The Future is Now: Use of Hepatitis B Virus and HIV Positive Donors for Thoracic Transplant
Co-Presented with the Transplant ID Section of TTS
Monday, 27 February, 2023

The number of patients awaiting thoracic transplantation continues to exceed the number of available donor organs, highlighting the clinical and public health need to expand the donor pool. While there is limited experience with transplantation of thoracic organs from HBV- or HIV-infected donors, transplantation of thoracic organs from HBV-infected donors into HBV-negative recipients and from HIV-infected donors into recipients living with HIV may provide new hope for those on the waitlist. However, this also presents unique challenges for physicians managing the increased complexity of these transplants. This session, presented by ISHLT and the TID Section of TTS, educates providers on how best to weigh the opportunities and challenges of these organs, summarize the available data for HBV-mismatched transplants and transplantation of organs from HIV+ donors to recipients living with HIV, and share experiences from two centers conducting transplants using the HBV+ and HIV+ donor pool.
 

 
 

PULMONOLOGY PROFESSIONAL COMMUNITY WEBINAR
Donor Lung Acceptance and Recipient-Donor Matching
Wednesday, 22 February, 2023

This webinar focuses on donor lung acceptance, and a transplant surgeon, a pulmonologist, and a transplant coordinator will discuss their perspectives about the practical considerations of donor lung acceptance. The speakers will also discuss donor-recipient matching including factors such as donor quality, recipient severity of illness and clinical condition, and size. Finally, we will have a speaker give a brief overview on the potential role for AI/ML for organ allocation and donor-recipient matching in the future.
