  • Presented by Kamada

    In this episode of the ISHLT Voices podcast, hosted by Kamada, you’ll hear a discussion on the utilization of Cytomegalovirus Immune Globulin (CMV IgG) in solid organ transplantation (SOT).

    First, a focused overview of CMV IgG, including what they are, how they are made, and their role in SOT. The experts describe the differences between hyperimmune globulins like CMV IgG and standard immune globulins (IVIG). Then, enjoy a discussion from the experts on two recently presented poster highlighting CMV IgG use in lung transplantation and the need for new emerging data.

  • Presented by Natera

    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 you through their efforts in the TRIFECTA series of studies to triangulate insights from dd-cfDNA, molecular diagnostics, and donor specific antibody versus standard histological assessments in heart, lung, and kidney transplantation.

  • Presented by Zambon USA

    ISHLT Voices returns with another podcast presented by Zambon USA exploring bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). BOS is one of the most common forms of chronic lung transplant rejection, and in part three of this series, experts take a deep dive into CLAD phenotype differentiation, current gaps in diagnosis and management of BOS, emerging treatment strategies, and lastly, discuss the advances made in BOS diagnosis and management over the last decade.

  • 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 validation of the Prospera™ assay by Natera, which has shown high negative predictive value and specificity, making it a promising tool for reducing the need for invasive biopsies and improving long-term transplant outcomes. Dr. Deshpande also highlights the potential for wider implementation of this technology in standard transplant care and ongoing research to optimize its use.
