Grafts from donation after cardiac death (DCD) donors are used to increase the number of organs available for liver transplantation. There is concern that warm ischemia may impair graft function. We compared our DCD recipients with a case-matched group of donation after brain death (DBD) recipients.
The outcomes of right lobe split (RLS) liver transplantation are variable in adult recipients. This report is an analysis of outcomes of our initial 5-year experience with the right lobe trisegment split graft. A retrospective analysis was performed of the recipient and graft outcomes from July 2002
This article examines the scientific, technical, and administrative barriers to splitting donor livers for use in two adults. The main scientific barrier is that cadaveric donor livers at their current level of postoperative function are not sufficiently large to support life in two adult recipients
