Amelia J. Hessheimer,Elisabeth Coll,Ferran Torres,Patricia Ruiz,Mikel Gastaca,José Ignacio Rivas,Manuel Gómez,B. Sanchez,Julio Santoyo,Pablo Ramírez,Pascual Parrilla,Luis Miguel Marín,Miguel Ángel Gómez-Bravo,Juan Carlos García-Valdecasas,Javier López-Monclús,Andrea Boscá,Rafael López-Andújar,Jiliam Fundora-Suárez,Jesús Villar,Álvaro García-Sesma,Carlos Jiménez,G.

TL;DR: The study results suggest that the use of postmortem normothermic regional perfusion helps reduce rates of post-transplant biliary complications and graft loss and allows for the successful transplantation of livers from older cDCD donors of advanced age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma or mixed hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma in patients undergoing liver transplantation: a Spanish matched cohort multicenter study
G. Sapisochin,C. Rodríguez de Lope,Mikel Gastaca,J. Ortiz de Urbina,Rafael López-Andújar,F. Palacios,Emilio Ramos,Joan Fabregat,J.F. Castroagudin,Evaristo Varo,José Antonio Pons,Pascual Parrilla,M.L. González-Diéguez,Macarena Rodriguez,Alejandra Otero,Mercedes Vázquez,Gabriel Zozaya,J.I. Herrero,G. Sanchez Antolin,B. Perez,Ruben Ciria,S. Rufian,Y. Fundora,J. A. Ferron,A. Guiberteau,Gerardo Blanco,M. A. Varona,M. A. Barrera,M. A. Suarez,Julio Santoyo,Jordi Bruix,Ramón Charco +31 more
TL;DR: Patients with HCC-CC have similar survival to patients undergoing a transplant for HCC and preoperative diagnosis of HCC should not prompt the exclusion of these patients from transplant option.
Journal ArticleDOI
"Very early" intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in cirrhotic patients: should liver transplantation be reconsidered in these patients?
G. Sapisochin,C. Rodríguez de Lope,Mikel Gastaca,J. Ortiz de Urbina,M. A. Suarez,Julio Santoyo,J.F. Castroagudin,Evaristo Varo,Rafael López-Andújar,F. Palacios,G. Sanchez Antolin,B. Perez,A. Guiberteau,Gerardo Blanco,M.L. González-Diéguez,Manuel Rodríguez,María Aranzazu Varona,Manuel Barrera,Y. Fundora,J. A. Ferron,Emilio Ramos,Joan Fabregat,Ruben Ciria,S. Rufian,Alejandra Otero,Mercedes Vázquez,José Antonio Pons,Pascual Parrilla,Gabriel Zozaya,J.I. Herrero,Ramón Charco,Jordi Bruix +31 more
TL;DR: Cirrhotic patients with iCCA ≤2 cm achieved excellent 5‐year survival, and validation of these findings by other groups may change the current exclusion of such patients from transplant programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are posttransplantation protocol liver biopsies useful in the long term
Marina Berenguer,José M. Rayón,Martín Prieto,Victoria Aguilera,D. Nicolás,Vicente Ortiz,Domingo Carrasco,Rafael López-Andújar,José Mir,Joaquín Berenguer +9 more
TL;DR: Given the high prevalence of abnormal histological findings, particularly the increase over time of those defined as severe, protocol liver biopsies are clearly justified in HCV‐infected transplant recipients with normal transaminase values.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lessons learned from anatomic variants of the hepatic artery in 1,081 transplanted livers
Rafael López-Andújar,Ángel Moya,Eva Montalvá,Marina Berenguer,Manuel de Juan,Fernando San Juan,Eugenia Pareja,Juan José Vila,Francisco Orbis,Martín Prieto,José Mir +10 more
TL;DR: Information about the different hepatic arterial patterns can help in reducing the risks of iatrogenic complications, which in turn may result in better outcomes not only following surgical interventions but also in the context of radiological treatments.
