Morbidity and Mortality Presentation |
2017 Concern for Rejection |
UWSMPH Pediatrics Residency Morning Report Conference Series |
Discussed a M&M case regarding a patient with a small bowel transplant who presented with |
concerns for rejection. She was put through unnecessary testing that put her at high risk for |
morbidity and mortality. |
Made recommendations to improve the planning of procedures and how to prevent this case |
scenario from happening again. |

Primary Researcher |
Conclusion: This retrospective chart review was able to identify family history of CD and |
animal exposure as specific early-life influencers that could predispose one to developing CD |
2019 - 2021 Does High-Intensity Exercise cause Acute Liver Injury in Patients with Fontan Circulation? A |
Prospective Pilot Study |
Children's Hospital of Wisconsin |
Principal Investigator |
Conclusion: In patients post Fontan procedure, the liver receives less oxygen during exercise |
and recovers slowly. In patients with normal systolic function, no clinical evidence of acute |
liver injury was found with exercise. Further studies are needed to understand the impact of |
exercise on liver injury and FALD |
2021 - 2022 The Role of Cardiac MRI in Fontan-Associated Liver Disease |
Boston Children's Hospital |
Co-Investigator |
Conclusion: This retrospective chart review compared cardiac MRI and abdominal ultrasound |
finding in patients with clinically significant Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD) versus |
Principal Investigator |
those without clinically significant FALD. We found that liver surveillance is uncommon, but clinically significant abnormal abdominal ultrasound findings are common in patients with Fontan circulation. Lastly, increased IVC flow may be an important marker of FALD; however, larger prospective studies are warranted to identify those patients in need of early hepatology referral |
