WE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO…

GIVE HOPE NEW LIFE U-M TRANSPLANT CENTER OVERVIEW AND VOLUMES We were there at the beginning from the beginning. A kidney transplant, the first transplant performed at the University of Michigan, was also the first transplant in the state of Michigan. Between that historical moment in 1964 when our doctors removed a kidney from one sister and transplanted it into her twin all the way to this present moment, our curiosity, determination and ever-growing experience have given hope new life for thousands of patients. The U-M Transplant Center brings together specialists in adult and pediatric heart, kidney, pancreas, liver and lung transplantation. Additional transplantation services are available through the Kellogg Eye Center and Comprehensive Cancer Center. Survival Flight operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and is at the ready to transport donor organs at a momentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notice.

includes adult cardiac transplant surgeons, heart failure and transplant cardiologists with advanced training in transplantation, advanced circulatory support and cardiac critical care specialists, dietitians, and social workers.

We are the leading cardiac transplant center in Michigan. Since 1984, we have performed more than 775 adult heart transplants and have implanted more than 500 ventricular assist devices. Our multidisciplinary transplant team

Our team also works closely with faculty who specialize in congenital heart disease, inherited cardiomyopathies and transplant infectious disease to realize our goal for every patient in the Heart Transplant Program: a return to normalcy.

Alternatives to Transplant With an average of 3,000 patients on the waiting list for a heart each year, the need for alternatives to transplantation is as big an issue as ever. The Heart Transplant Program manages the care of patients on the heart transplant list while exploring viable options to improve their quality of life while they do so. U-M was the first hospital in the state and is one of the largest programs in the country for left ventricular assist device (LVAD) procedures through our Center for Circulatory Support. Patients may also receive oral heart failure medications or intravenous inotropes to help delay the need for transplant.

Options for Combination Transplant Patients Our Heart Transplant Program is highly experienced in combination heart/kidney transplants or heart/liver transplants, so patients with complex health conditions can be offered multiple transplant listings.

Heart Transplant Research Studies As a leading site for many clinical trials that investigate mechanical circulatory support and LVADs, we offer patients the latest treatment options while they are waiting for a heart. REVIVE-IT is a study led by the University of Michigan and the University of Pittsburgh that is designed to examine the safety and efficacy of implanting LVADs in patients with less advanced stages of heart failure and test to see if the

Educating Tomorrow’s Heart Transplant Leaders The Department of Cardiac Surgery in conjunction with the Section of General Thoracic Surgery adopted a new approach to the training of residents last year. The streamlined program consists of a six-year integrated surgical residency with doctors entering cardiothoracic (CT) residency directly out of medical school. The program allows surgeons to have more time with the trainees, which gives them more exposure to this specialty. Residents who complete the six years will be completely trained, competent cardiothoracic surgeons.

AFTER 3 YEARS

Even with no family history of heart disease, Scot Cannell found himself diagnosed with cardiomyopathy in 2009. After receiving an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) that same year and an LVAD two years later, Scot’s only treatment option became transplantation. His second chance began in the spring of 2012 when his donor heart became available. Scot has been living life to the fullest ever since with his wife, three daughters and the 250 band students he teaches every day.

PARTNER IN CARE ADULT KIDNEY/PANCREAS TRANSPLANTS access to all of our protocols, and direct access to our nephrologists and surgeons at any time.

Kidney Transplantation Our specialists are experts in treating complex recipients with complicated anatomy, multiple transplants and high medical risk. Our team works closely together in following patients from the initial evaluation through transplantation to reduce complications and promote better outcomes.

Kidney Desensitization Program Desensitization offers a viable option to patients who may otherwise be turned down for transplantation due to high levels of antibodies, which make it more difficult to find an adequate donor and create a higher risk for rejection. Our Kidney Desensitization Program is the only one of its kind in Michigan and Ohio. Our desensitization program has enabled 15 transplants. Since performing the state’s first kidney transplant in 1964, and as home to one of the most active pancreas transplant programs in the country, everything we do is centered on prolonging and improving the quality of life for patients. Our multidisciplinary team is comprised of surgeons, nephrologists, social workers, transplant coordinators and transplant research coordinators who review and decide on all transplant listings as a committee. Additional specialists provide expert integrated patient care, including midlevel providers, pharmacists and dietitians as well as faculty from infectious disease, urology, gastroenterology, endocrinology and cardiology.

Collaboration occurs at many levels and at all phases of the transplant process, from evaluation day through post-transplant follow-up care. We offer patients: • State-of-the art desensitization techniques • Surveillance biopsies to identify rejection before it is otherwise evident • Enhanced recovery techniques for living donors • Experience to treat complex surgical candidates, including those with obesity, vascular disease, advanced liver disease and urologic conditions In addition to state-of-the-art care and cutting-edge research for patients, referring physicians have

Paired Kidney Donation Program Paired kidney donation may be an option for patients who are not successful candidates for desensitization. As one of the largest paired donor programs in the country, we utilize organ matching software developed at the University of Michigan to pair living kidney donors to hard-to-match recipients. 48 patients received transplants through Paired Kidney Donation.

Kidney Transplant Biopsies We perform kidney transplant biopsies even if the patient is asymptomatic and laboratory values are stable. By performing a preemptive or protocol biopsy, we can diagnose rejection at a very early stage and not only prevent hospital admissions,

M-LINE 800-962-3555

OUTCOMES but also substantial injury to the transplant. Biopsies are performed at the time of transplant and during the first year post-transplant at three, six and twelve months. All biopsies are read on the same day they are performed by specialized renal pathologists.

• Assessment and optimization of physical conditioning before and after transplant

Pancreas Transplantation

Patients and their families, along with live donors, are well informed every step of the transplant process with education, support and mentoring groups developed especially for them. With 27 dedicated peer mentors for kidney transplant patients available, everyone receives individualized attention.

Pancreas transplantation is our treatment of choice for patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. We perform pancreas transplantation simultaneously with a deceased donor kidney transplant, after a kidney transplant, and in some cases, before the native kidneys fail. Our goal is for the patient to derive the greatest benefit in terms of survival and quality of life.

Kidney and Pancreas Transplant Research Studies As a leading center for kidney and pancreas transplantation, we are able to offer patients access to treatments not otherwise available in other programs through our broad-based research efforts. We are currently investigating:

• How to enhance recovery for living donors

Support for Patients and Their Families

Educating Tomorrow’s Kidney and Pancreas Transplant Leaders Two surgical transplant fellows and one transplant nephrology fellow are trained each year. During these 12 months, their training is focused on kidney transplantation, but also any other type of transplant where kidney disease is present. These fellows go on to become leaders in their respective fields in our health system and across the country.

• Medications that can reduce injury to kidney transplants

We participate in several continuing medical education courses every year for health care professionals who care for kidney and pancreas transplant candidates and recipients. We also host Explore Transplant’s Dialysis Provider Training for dialysis center staff.

• Improved methods to reduce or eliminate immunosuppression

Visit www.med.umich.edu/intmed/cme/ calendar.htm for the latest course schedules.

• Donor and recipient factors that affect transplant outcomes • New anti-rejection medications

• Prevention and treatment of antibody-mediated rejection

Janice Ottenbacher On March 30, 1964, Joan Ottenbacher donated one of her kidneys to her sister Janice at the University of Michigan in the state’s first-ever human organ transplant. Janice’s kidney had failed after a bout of pneumonia when they were 15 years old. She lived on dialysis until the momentous transplant two years later. Both were inspired to choose a career in nursing following their experience at U-M. Their procedure positioned our program to lead many national and international efforts to advance the field of transplantation and make history ever since.

Liver Transplant for Complicated Cases The University of Michigan is one of only 20 programs in the country that offers liver transplant as a treatment for bile duct cancer. Our team coordinates care with experts from radiation oncology, medical oncology and interventional radiology to administer the complicated multi-modality therapy before transplant.

Liver Cancer

As the original transplant center in Michigan, the Liver Transplant Program is known for our expertise in clinical care and research. We have completed more than 2,000 liver transplants to date, including split liver transplants. We provide multidisciplinary, individualized care to patients and their families, beginning with assigning a specific physician to follow them throughout their care before, during and after transplant. Each member of the multidisciplinary Liver Transplant Program team is dedicated to transplant patients. Our team communicates regularly with

referring physicians throughout the transplant process, partnering in patient care through consultations or specific questions or services.

Liver Transplant Clinic In continuing with the tradition of creating multidisciplinary clinics, we now offer patients the ease and convenience of abdominal transplant care in one location. In addition to clinical services, this new clinic features a phlebotomy lab, ultrasound, pharmacy and some outpatient procedures for liver and kidney transplant patients. Specialists from

The University of Michigan is home to one of the first centers in the country to develop a Multidisciplinary Liver Tumor Program where specialists have expertise in treating both liver cancer and liver transplant patients under one roof. Transplant is effective for some patients with limited size liver cancer. Even without liver failure, transplant may be the best treatment option for them.

Liver Transplant Research Studies Access to investigational medicine offers life-changing results. As a leading liver research center, we are able to offer new therapies to cure Hepatitis C, the number one cause for liver transplants. We were the first center to offer these new treatments, and now we are one of only five centers worldwide with access to a combination of these drugs through clinical trials.

M-LINE 800-962-3555

OUTCOMES Robert Gholston Other current research efforts include: • Studies assessing frailty and overall patient medical condition and strength to develop objective parameters for pre-operative risk assessment • Leading enrollment site for NIH-sponsored Acute Liver Failure Study Group, which has developed blood tests and identified new diagnostic assays.

Educating Tomorrow’s Liver Transplant Leaders We have one of the largest and most respected gastroenterology fellowship programs in the country, training six or seven fellows per year for a three-year fellowship. We also offer highly specialized training in transplant hepatology and transplant surgery for two fellows in each program every year. Our program leads two continuing medical education courses for community physicians during the year: one is a full day of updates and case-based discussions that are specific to liver transplantation, and the other covers updates about liver disease in general.

Robert Gholston unknowingly contracted hepatitis C through a blood transfusion following a car accident when he was just nine years old. By the time he was in his late fifties, a liver transplant became his only treatment option. However, within six months of his transplant the hepatitis C returned. It was during that time that our Liver Transplant Program offered Robert a new option in the form of an investigational oral drug regimen never tried before. Within four weeks of administering an interferon-free combination therapy of sofosbuvir and daclatasvir, Robert’s serum HCV RNA levels were undetectable and liver biochemistries normalized. After two years, Robert continues to live hepatitis C-free, working, walking five miles a day, spending time with his children and grandchildren, and actively promoting organ donation awareness. Read more about Robert online at www.med. umich.edu/cic/2013-fall/outofthewoods.html

Support for Patients and Their Families All patients and their families attend an education meeting before the patient is added to the transplant list. Every patient also receives a detailed patient education brochure that explains all aspects of the transplant process.

BRING NEW THERAPIES TO LIFE ADULT LUNG TRANSPLANTS

Collaboration is essential in lung transplantation, and in the Lung Transplant Program at the University of Michigan we work closely together to provide the latest treatment options for patients with end-stage lung disease. Our extensive experience contributes to improved outcomes as demonstrated by our one year survival rate which is higher than the national average. Our multidisciplinary team includes pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, nurses, coordinators, social workers, dietitians, and transplant pharmacists. We also collaborate with experts throughout the various medical specialties in anesthesiology, critical care, infectious disease, cardiology, radiology, pulmonary hypertension, cardiac transplantation, congenital heart disease,

rheumatologic and scleroderma lung disease, hepatology, thoracic radiology, and lung pathology.

Dyspnea Clinic All patients referred to our program are seen initially in the specialty Dyspnea Clinic by one of our eight lung transplant physicians where they are evaluated for novel therapies or considered for enrollment in one of our many NIH- or commercially sponsored clinical trials. Our Dyspnea Clinic offers complete support to pulmonologists throughout the state to treat the full scope of conditions that can result in end-stage lung disease, including:

• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema • Pulmonary hypertension • Sarcoidosis

Thoracic Surgery Our section of Thoracic Surgery, composed of six UNOS certified transplant surgeons, are available 24 hours a day to procure and transplant lungs for our waitlisted patients. Their expertise also includes ECMO, EVLP and critical care support. Lung resection and esophageal surgery round out their focus of interest.

• Pulmonary fibrosis • Cystic fibrosis

M-LINE 800-962-3555

OUTCOMES National Emphysema Treatment Trial (NETT) We were one of 26 centers to provide lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) for patients with severe emphysema. This study focused on examining the effects of optimal medical management and LVRS on short- and long-term survival, as well as lung function, exercise performance, and quality of life. Results from this study have led to further investigation on bronchoscopic endobronchial interventions and other techniques less invasive than LVRS to achieve lung reduction. In the spirit of the NETT trial, which was a NIH sponsored multi-center trial, we are currently one of only five centers participating in the WRAP-IPF trial evaluating the effects of laparoscopic reflux surgery for the treatment of IPF.

Alternatives to Transplant For patients who are not quite ready for transplant or are currently awaiting donor lungs, we offer many alternatives that may delay or defer the need for transplantation.

• Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) • Opportunities for novel therapies through clinical trials

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) We are a leading center for the use and development of technology related to ECMO as a bridge to transplant and to support patients that have graft dysfunction after transplant.

• Participation in the Lung Transplant Outcomes Group (LTOG) that studies primary graft dysfunction

We are one of eleven centers participating in the NOVEL trial looking at the use of XVIVO lung perfusion (EVLP). We will be sharing our expertise and collaborating with Gift of Life Michigan and Henry Ford Health System to offer EVLP in our center as part of an effort to increase the volume of donor lungs available to patients in Michigan. Other current lung transplant research includes:

These options include: • A variety of medications, which is the most common form of therapy

• Investigating causes and prevention of donor lung injury, specifically primary graft dysfunction

• Supplemental oxygen therapy

• Pathogenesis of chronic rejection of the lung resulting in obliterative bronchiolitis and/or restrictive allograft syndrome

www.UofMHealth.org/Transplant

• Development of an artificial lung

XVIVO Lung Perfusion (EVLP)

• Studying the role of human lung resident mesenchymal stem cells and prostaglandins in the development of fibrosis or chronic rejection of the lung allograft

• Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS), which improves breathing by removing a portion of damaged lung tissue to help the remaining lung work more efficiently. This option is available only to a small portion of patients with emphysema

• Mechanisms of fibrotic lung disease development in idiopathic and connective tissue diseases

XVIVO Perfusion

• Changes in the transplanted lung “microbiome” or lung microbiologic environment • Gastroesophageal reflux effects on the fibrotic and transplanted lung

ADULT LUNG TRANSPLANTS — CONTINUED Educating Tomorrow’s Lung Transplant Leaders We currently train five fellows per year in pulmonary and critical care medicine, and two cardiothoracic fellows per year in thoracic surgery who are thoroughly trained in all aspects of thoracic transplantation. Many of our previous fellows are leaders at academic institutions with more than 60% of them in academic medicine. Our CME Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Update course is offered annually and open to all health care providers. We also host on-site outreach events throughout the state as requested.

Support for Patients and Families Under the guidance of our social workers, transplant coordinator, nurse coordinators and pharmacists, we provide personal support for the patient and family members throughout the transplant process. This is supplemented by a personal education class, an educational booklet with a DVD, and online Patient Education Videos. Our lung transplant support group meets monthly, providing a positive environment for patient education and peer-peer discussion. Communication is strong between participants who assist in organizing biannual group events.

Jack Wagner and Dan Roy On January 3, 2011, two patients met for the first time as they made transplant history together. Jack Wagner and Dan Roy, both 64 years old and diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, became our 499th and 500th lung transplant recipients after each received the gift of a lung from the same organ donor almost simultaneously. While a notable

achievement for the specialists in our Lung Transplant Program, even more remarkable are the many more moments Jack and Dan have enjoyed with their families thanks to the generous family of their donor.

Our Team Was There at the Very Beginning: pushing the boundaries,

daring to dream and giving hope new life for thousands of patients in our state and beyond with the event of a single transplant procedure in 1964. Since then, we have celebrated many firsts, learned from many trials, advanced many techniques, explored many paths, and have trained many new leaders to create transplant programs across the country and around the world. We are proud of our first 50 years, and even more inspired to build on momentum of this legacy for many years to come.

CREATE NEW BEGINNINGS PEDIATRIC HEART TRANSPLANTS With low organ rejection and high patient survival rates that rank among the world’s best, our Pediatric Heart Transplant Program offers expertise and experience that give children with congenital heart defects and cardiomyopathies a fighting chance.

Multiple Transplant Listings

Our dedicated, multidisciplinary team includes pediatric cardiac transplant surgeons, transplant cardiologists, social workers, dietitians, transplant coordinators, nurse practitioners, living donor advocates, financial coordinators, pharmacists and clinical researchers. We work together to provide excellent coordinated and comprehensive evaluation, treatment and follow-up care for children from newborn to 18 years old.

Support for Patients and Families

Alternatives to Transplant Our team specializes in the management and treatment of complex congenital heart diseases, which can help some children avoid transplantation altogether. Alternative treatment options include oral medication, intravenous inotropes and heart assist devices.

For children with kidney or liver disease in addition to heart failure, our center offers multiple transplant listings. Our specialists have extensive experience in performing combination transplants such as heart/kidney or heart/liver.

Education and family involvement are very important to the success of our program. Our Pediatric Heart Failure Transplant Team cares for children during their inpatient stay, while our Post-Transplant Coordinators oversee all post-transplant management, including scheduling follow-up biopsies and blood work. Currently we follow 375 adult and 59 pediatric heart patients.

Transition Care We are dedicated to helping every child we transplant prepare for life as a healthy adult with a heart transplant. We start this process as early as possible so that they will learn how to administer their own medications, call for prescriptions and more by the time they reach adolescence.

NEVER GIVE UP PEDIATRIC KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS Caring for children with chronic kidney disease takes an experienced, integrated team of specialists. Through our Pediatric Kidney Transplant Program, children and their families receive expert, compassionate care from our dedicated social workers, dietitians, transplant coordinators, nurse practitioners, nephrologists, surgeons, living donor advocates, financial coordinators, pharmacists and clinical researchers. Together we have developed the most experienced program in Michigan, especially in the transplantation of children less than two years of age. We also specialize in performing transplants for children who have been turned down by other centers due to complex surgical issues, obesity and sensitization.

Alternatives to Transplant While a kidney transplant may be the best therapy for some patients, other options like hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis may be a better alternative for others. Our specialists will work with children and their families to determine which treatment option to choose.

OUTCOMES Desensitization Program

Road to Self-Care

Some children on the kidney transplant waiting list are sensitized. We offer desensitization therapies to help these patients become compatible with donor organs and reduce the potential for organ rejection.

Living with a kidney transplant is a journey that continues into adulthood. To ensure our pediatric patients learn to care for themselves as they grow and go on to live as productive adults, we work with them one-on-one to provide guidance and on how to administer medications, call for prescriptions, schedule testing and more.

Living Kidney Donors Live donors can decrease the waiting time for a kidney transplant. Parents, siblings, other relatives and altruistic donors can be considered for a living kidney donation. Our team is always available to provide confidential counsel and thoroughly answer any and all questions throughout the decision process.

Support for Patients and Families Child Life Specialists and Pediatric Transplant Psychologists provide comprehensive education and counseling throughout the transplant process. Children are seen weekly in our clinic for the first three months following transplant, and then follow-up visits are scheduled every three or four months. Our team regularly communicates with referring nephrologists and primary care providers at every stage of the process.

www.UofMHealth.org/Transplant

Pediatric Kidney Transplant Research Studies Our research efforts provide our program with access to novel clinical trials and cutting-edge treatments that are not widely available, including desensitization for pediatric patients.

Educating Tomorrow’s Pediatric Kidney Transplant Leaders The Pediatric Nephrology Program encompasses three years of training, including clinical training and direct involvement with 15–20 new pediatric transplant patients per year. A particular strength of this training program is the development of close working relationships with colleagues from within the department and throughout the Health System.

TAKE ON ANY CHALLENGE PEDIATRIC LIVER TRANSPLANTS Helping children grow up to be healthy adults is at the center of everything we do. Since 1986, the Pediatric Liver Transplant Program has restored liver function and a better quality of life to children of all ages from about three months to 18 years old. Our multidisciplinary pediatric team includes social workers, dietitians, transplant coordinators, nurse practitioners, hepatologists, surgeons, living donor advocates, financial coordinators, pharmacists and a clinical research team. We specialize in treating small infants and children with complex conditions, and offer many options that may delay transplantation or prolong life while waiting for a donor liver.

Nutrition Therapy Our dedicated dietitians help children prepare for transplant and reduce the chances of complications afterwards through individual treatment plans that fulfill calorie requirements at every stage of care.

JUST A CALL AWAY TRANSPLANT TEAM Every transplant begins with the rapid and safe delivery of donor organs. As part of the U-M Transplant Center team, we count on the dedicated crew of the Survival Flight fleet to transport our organ recovery teams. The Survival Flight team includes cross-trained flight nurses, pilots, mechanics and communications specialists who work around the clock to provide highly specialized care to critically ill or injured pediatric and adult patients, and ensure that donor organs are specially handled. Three American Eurocopter 155 helicopters, along with a Citation Encore fixed-wing plane for longer distances, make up the Survival Flight fleet. With longer-range capabilities, the Survival Flight

helicopters can travel up to 500 miles away without refueling, then return to the helipads at University Hospital, C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital and Von Voigtlander Women’s Hospital or to the Livingston County airport in Howell, just 30 minutes away. The work we do to give hope new life to transplant patients would not be possible without our colleagues in Survival Flight.
