ENDOVASCULAR MANAGEMENT OF TRANSPLANT RENAL ARTERY STENOSIS: EARLY AND MID-TERM...
Pinto, Vanda; Lopez, Noélia; Cardoso, Ana; Henriques, Mickael; Silva, Emanuel; Silvestre, Luís; Baptista, Lucas; Guerra, José; Mendes Pedro, LuísOBJECTIVE: Renal graft dysfunction or worsened hypertension in renal transplanted patients may be a manifestation of graft hypoperfusion due to transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) or stenosis of iliac arteries proximal to renal transplant (pseudo-TRAS). Endovascular management of TRAS has been increasingly used to preserve renal graft function. With this study, we aim to evaluate the impact of endovascular ...
LIVING DONOR RENAL TRANSPLANTATION — A COMPLEX VASCULAR CASE
Pinto, Vanda; Ministro, Augusto; Silvestre, Luís; Mendes Pedro, Luís; Lopez, Noélia; Guerra, José; Baptista, LucasIntroduction: The presence of multiple renal vessels is frequent in the general population and, when present in a donor, increases the complexity of renal transplantation surgery, increasing the risk of complications. Although transplantation of cadaver donor grafts with these characteristics is accepted, the same procedure in living donor remains controversial. The objective of this work is to present th...
The impact of glomerular filtration rate in heart failure patients with cardiac...
Marques, Pedro; Pinto, Fausto J.; Guerra, José; Lopes, José António; de Sousa, João; Carrington, Mafalda; António, Pedro; Ferreira, Afonso NunesBackground and Aims: Heart Failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are both epidemic, frequently simultaneous and sharing well knowned risk factors. Implantable devices can improve quality of life and reduce mortality in a selected population. Data derived from meta-analyses show both survival benefit in CKD patients receiving devices and increased risk of death in device patients with CKD. Little is Know...
Kaposi Sarcoma in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients: A challenging Case
Macedo, Daniela; Garrido, Pedro Miguel; Fernandes, Isabel; Santana, Alice; Guerra, José; Borges-Costa, JoãoKaposi sarcoma is a low-grade vascular tumor, associated with human herpesvirus-8 infection. Solid organ transplant recipients have a much higher risk of this malignancy, with estimated incidence rates increased 84 to 500 times. The risk is even higher in some ethnic groups, already with a higher incidence of this disease. We report a case of a 37-year-old African male, a kidney transplant recipient, with ...

SKIN CANCER AWARENESS AND PHOTOPROTECTION KNOWLEDGE AMONG RENAL TRANSPLANT RECI...
Borges-Costa, João; Travassos, Ana Rita; Vasconcelos, Pedro; Guerra, José; Santana, Alice; Weigert, André; Marques, Manuel SacramentoIntroduction: Organ transplanted recipients have higher risk of skin cancer, and cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation is the most important risk factor. The objectives of this study were to assess photoprotection beha- vior and skin cancer awareness. Methods: A questionnaire-based study of kidney transplant recipients who were obser- ved for the first time between July of 2010 and December of 2011. A 5%...

Borges-Costa, João; Vasconcelos, João Pedro; Travassos, Ana Rita; Guerra, José; Santana, Alice; Weigert, André; Sacramento Marques, ManuelIntroduction and Objectives: Organ transplanted recipients have a higher risk of non melanoma skin cancer. Our objectives were to determine incidence of skin cancer and search for associations with clinical or demographic factors in a series of kidney transplant recipients. Materials and Methods: A prospective study with face-to-face interview of 127 kidney transplant recipients who were observed for the first ...
