Transplantation PostersSESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Mild hypoxia has been seen in approximately one third of patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is an important cause in a patient with hypoxemia and CLD. HPS in patients with CLD modifies the line of management and determines the prognosis of the disease. HPS is characterized by arterial de-oxygenation, intrapulmonary vascular dilatation (IPVD) in the setting of liver disease. This study was undertaken to assess the prevalence of HPS and to find predictive value of respiratory parameters in the diagnosis of HPS in patients admitted for liver transplant evaluation. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Amrut Sindhu Sanikop, Raj SinghNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.

Transplantation Case Report PosterSESSION TYPE: Case Report PosterPRESENTED ON: Sunday, March 23, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMINTRODUCTION: Lung transplant patients face a scarcity of suitable organ donors, leading to prolonged waiting times and increased waiting list morbidity and mortality. Bilateral Cadaveric Lobar Lung Transplantation (BCLLT) can expand the donor pool in cases where donors may be unsuitable for whole lung donation due to viability of the lower lobes and yet have upper lobes suitable for transplantation in patients of small stature or reduced pleural space. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of BCCLT in the UK. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Melissa McDonnell, Asif Hasan, Malcolm Brodlie, Christopher O'Brien, David Spencer, Dubhfeasa Slattery, Jim Egan, Richard Kirk, Jim LordanNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
