Transplantation was founded on the spirit of innovation and experimentation. The AST created the Innovation Award to honor an individual or team whose big ideas and outside the box thinking has made a significant impact on transplantation. The award is designed to showcase successes in transplant innovation and to drive, recognize, and reward novel ideas.

Over the long-term, graft survival may be impacted by factors such as declining adherence, which may be affected by complex dosing regimens and neurotoxicities. Studies show a direct correlation between rejection losses and nonadherence, which is also proven to increase over time. Review 2-year published data and see the results achieved at 2 years in de novo kidney transplant patients.

Join ASN, AST, and more than 13,000 other kidney professionals from across the globe at ASN Kidney Week 2019 in San Diego, CA. The world's premier nephrology meeting, Kidney Week provides participants exciting and challenging opportunities to exchange knowledge, learn the latest scientific and medical advances, and listen to engaging and provocative discussions with leading experts in the field. Learn about the Kidney Transplantation Early Program (Oct 23 – Oct 24).
Members of the AST Kidney Pancreas Community of Practice have generated the following survey to identify program clinical practice and system factors impacting diabetic patients and opportunities to undergo pancreas transplantation.
The purpose of this study is to inform the transplant community about the present state of pancreas transplant procedures in the US and gather information about current best practices.
This study will take about 10-15 minutes to complete. Providers from the American Society of Transplantation, American Society of Transplant Surgeons and American Society of Nephrology will be invited to complete this survey. This survey was endorsed by both AST and ASTS Council.

Liver Allocation Study Group
An optimal allocation system for scarce resources should simultaneously ensure maximal utility, but also equity. The most frequent principles for allocation policies in liver transplantation are therefore criteria that rely on pre-transplant survival (sickest first policy), post-transplant survival (utility), or on their combination (benefit).

Patients with liver disease acquire complex changes in their hemostatic system which results in a fragile rebalanced status. The status of the fibrinolytic system is controversial, as is the role of fibrinolytic dysfunction in bleeding and thrombosis in patients with cirrhosis.

JAMA
This cohort study analyzes the use of 156 089 deceased donor kidneys in the United States and 29 984 in France and finds that the US discard rate of these kidneys is nearly twice that of France. It uses computer simulation to model a lower US discard rate similar to that of France, and estimates a US increase of 132 445 allograft life-years.

The field of heart transplantation continues to evolve, with major changes in allocation systems, and increasing use of extended-criteria donor hearts, including hearts from donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors, hearts supported with ex-vivo perfusion, and hearts from hepatitis C viremic donors. Use of such non-traditional donor hearts has made transplantation available to a larger number of recipients, but the demand continues to outpace the supply.

Postoperative atrial fibrillation/flutter (POAF) is the most common perioperative arrhythmia and may be particularly problematic after liver transplant (LT). This study is a single‐center, retrospective analysis of POAF to determine its incidence following LT, identify risk factors, assess its impact on clinical outcomes, and summarize management strategies.
