Ha Il Kim, Jong Keon Jang, Jihye Lim, Seheon Chang, Jihyun An, Hyo Jeong Kang, Gi‐Won Song, Sung‐Gyu Lee, So Yeon Kim, Ju Hyun Shim – 22 November 2019 – We aimed to determine the identities in explants of indeterminate hepatic nodules (IDNs) that had been scanned by dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to establish clinicoradiological parameters predicting which IDNs were hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). This study included 88 patients with cirrhosis who underwent gadoxetic acid–enhanced MRI in pre–liver transplantation (LT) workup followed within 90 days by primary LT.

Yi Zhang, Ayushman Sharma, Dong Jin Joo, Erek Nelson, Anan AbuRmilah, Bruce P. Amiot, Christen J. Boyer, Jonathan S. Alexander, Nidhi Jalan‐Sakrikar, John Martin, Roger Moreira, Shiraj A. Chowdhury, Michele Smart, Allan B. Dietz, Scott L. Nyberg, Julie K. Heimbach, Robert C. Huebert – 19 November 2019 – Biliary complications (strictures and leaks) represent major limitations in living donor liver transplantation. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising modality to prevent biliary complications because of immunosuppressive and angiogenic properties.

Rice, Vijay H. Shah, Norah Terrault, Anji Wall, Scott Winder, Goran Klintmalm – 19 November 2019 – Liver transplantation (LT) for alcohol associated hepatitis (AH) remains controversial. We convened a consensus conference to examine various aspects of LT for AH.
