Although severely steatotic liver grafts are not suitable for transplantation, they have been used when other, more optimal donors were not available, especially for living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) using two liver grafts. Here we present two cases of dual-graft LDLT in which the recipients
Hepatic venous outflow reconstruction is a key to successful living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) because its obstruction leads to graft dysfunction and eventual loss. Inclusion or reconstruction of most draining veins is ideal to ensure graft venous drainage and avoids acute congestion in the
Little information is available on the characteristics and clinical significance of serum bilirubin level early after liver transplantation. The aim of this study was to clarify the risk factors for early graft loss and to assess the significance of postoperative hyperbilirubinemia as a predictor of
