Clinical Significance of Spontaneous Portosystemic Shunts in Living Donor Liver Transplantation

Marc‐Antoine Allard, Nobuhisa Akamatsu, Takashi Kokudo, Kosuke Kobayashi, Junichi Kaneko, Takeaki Ishizawa, Junichi Arita, Kiyoshi Hasegawa – 16 May 2020 – Spontaneous portosystemic shunts (SPSS) are commonly observed in patients undergoing living donor liver transplantation (LDLT); however, their impact on the outcome after transplantation is unclear. We aimed to assess the type, size, and the effects of SPSS on outcomes after LDLT. A total of 339 LDLT recipients in a single institution were included.

Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Imaging to Predict Graft Survival After Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: A Pilot Study

Damien Dousse, Eric Vibert, Quentin Nicolas, Muga Terasawa, Luis Cano, Marc‐Antoine Allard, Chady Salloum, Oriana Ciacio, Gabriella Pittau, Antonio Sa Cunha, Daniel Cherqui, René Adam, Didier Samuel, Irene Vignon‐Clementel, Nicolas Golse – 13 May 2020 – The incidence of primary nonfunction (PNF) after liver transplantation (LT) remains a major concern with the increasing use of marginal grafts. Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence is an imaging technique used in hepatobiliary surgery and LT.

Livers From Pediatric Donation After Circulatory Death Donors Represent a Viable and Underutilized Source of Allograft

Christopher J. Little, Andre A. S. Dick, James D. Perkins, Evelyn K. Hsu, Jorge D. Reyes – 13 May 2020 – Despite increased numbers of donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors, pediatric DCD livers are underused. To investigate possible reasons for this discrepancy, we conducted a retrospective cohort study using 2 data sets from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network for all deceased liver donors and for all recipients of DCD liver transplants from March 8, 1993, to June 30, 2018.
