Journal ArticleDOI

Type of donor aortic preservation solution and not cold ischemia time is a major determinant of biliary strictures after liver transplantation.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that high‐viscosity (HV) preservation solutions in the donor do not completely flush the small donor peribiliary plexus, leading to inadequate preservation of the bile ducts and posttransplant BSs, and mixed preservation solution might protect against BS formation while providing optimal liver graft preservation, function, and survival despite a mean CIT longer than 10 hours.
Journal ArticleDOI

Steroid-free immunosuppression during and after liver transplantation--a 3-yr follow-up report.

TL;DR: The long‐term follow-up data are reported of a prospective pilot study designed to determine whether liver transplantation could be performed with no steroids at all (neither during nor after surgery).
Journal ArticleDOI

Tolerance of Liver Transplant Patients to Strenuous Physical Activity in High-Altitude

TL;DR: In this article, six liver transplant patients were selected to participate in a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro 5895m, Tanzania, and compared with fifteen control subjects with similar profiles and matched for age and body mass index.
Journal ArticleDOI
