Because of the anatomical features associated with situs inversus, technical difficulties will be encountered during orthotopic liver transplantation. This report describes the case of a patient with situs inversus totalis and end-stage liver disease from biliary atresia who was treated by segmental
This study examined whether angiotensin II (Ang II) blockers [Ang II type I receptor antagonist, Ang II type II receptor antagonist, and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor] could reduce hepatic injury and improve regeneration in reduced-size orthotopic liver transplantation (ROLT) and whe
