Research:
An exciting milestone in small bowel transplant pathology occurred in October, 1999 when the Sixth
Annual International Small Bowel Transplantation Symposium was held in Omaha. I led pathologists from
UNMC, Pittsburgh, London, Ontario, and Miami in developing a working formulation of histologic criteria
for grading rejection in small bowel transplant biopsies. This grading scale will be published in
Transplant Proceedings in September, 2000. My interest in chronic rejection and transplant arteriopathy
continues and I am investigating this process in small bowel allografts as well.
This past summer, a first-year medical student, Brock Wendt, and I studied an interesting process of
intimal thickening and medial damage in cadaver aortic homografts used in reconstruction of hypoplastic
aortas in children. We are correlating donor and recipient characteristics to better understand the
pathobiology of this poorly-understood phenomenon.
