Journal ArticleDOI

Split-liver transplantation: one plus one doesn't always equal two.

TL;DR: Reduced‐size orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is extended to treat 18 patients with 9 livers, accounting for 26% of the authors' transplants during a 10‐month period and it is demonstrated that split‐liver OLT is feasible and could have a substantial impact in transplant practice.
Journal Article

Aortic revascularization of orthotopic liver allografts: indications and long-term follow-up.

TL;DR: In more precarious situations, Ao-OLT achieves patency rates similar to those of primary, uncomplicated OLT, is superior for retransplantation, and has technical advantages in the small pediatric liver recipient.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficient utilization of the expanded criteria donor (ECD) deceased donor kidney pool: an analysis of the effect of labeling.

TL;DR: Overall, implementation of the ECD definition coincided with a reversal of an apparent reluctance to recover kidneys from donors over age 59, but increased selectiveness on the part of surgeons/centers with respect to these kidneys.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in liver and spleen volumes after living liver donation: A report from the adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation cohort study (A2ALL)

TL;DR: A standard spleen volume (SSV) model was developed to predict normal spleen volumes in donors before donation and found that decreased platelet counts, a younger age, a higher predonation liver volume, higher hemoglobin levels, and a higher BSA predicted a larger spleenVolume.
