Novel Approach to Vascular Thymic Tissue Transplantation in Humans: A Case Report
Background
Vascular thymus transplantation has been explored in animal models but remains untested in humans. Current approaches to congenital athymia involve avascular transplantation of allogeneic thymic tissue, which may delay immune recovery. Building on animal studies, we propose revascularization of thymic tissue in a human model. This case report details about the revascularization of neonatal thymic tissue in an elderly woman with terminal cancer, evaluating revascularization efficacy, rejection risks, and procedural safety over a 3-week period.
Case report
A thymic tissue graft obtained from a neonate during corrective heart surgery was implanted into the left radial forearm of an 85-year-old woman. The graft was evaluated for 3 weeks, with one thymic vein anastomosed to the cephalic vein and one thymic artery to the radial artery. No immunosuppression or HLA matching was employed. Weekly Doppler ultrasound and postexplantation histopathology monitored blood flow and graft status. Hematologic, biochemical, radiological evaluations, and daily clinical follow-up were conducted.
Conclusion
This preliminary research demonstrates the feasibility of revascularizing a neonatal thymus in an adult using microsurgical techniques.
期刊介绍:
Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication.
The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics.
Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board.
Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
