Flavio Paterno, James V. Guarrera, Koffi Wima, Tayyab Diwan, Madison C. Cuffy, Nadeem Anwar, E. Steve Woodle, Shimul Shah – 26 March 2019 – The use of donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver allografts has been constrained by limitations in the duration of donor warm ischemia time (DWIT), donor agonal time (DAT), and cold ischemia time (CIT). The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of longer DWIT, DAT, and CIT on graft survival and other outcomes in DCD liver transplants.
Yuan Liu, Yi Luo, Lei Xia, Bijun Qiu, Tao Zhou, Mingxuan Feng, Feng Xue, Xiaosong Chen, Longzhi Han, Jianjun Zhang, Qiang Xia – 26 March 2019 – We evaluated the effects of liver transplantation (LT) in children with Niemann‐Pick disease (NPD) type B. From October 2006 to October 2018, 7 of 1512 children who received LT at Ren Ji Hospital were diagnosed as NPD type B. The median age at diagnosis was 12 months (6‐14 months) with initial presentations of hepatosplenomegaly, growth retardation, repeated pneumonia, and diarrhea.

Giovanni Targher, Alessandro Mantovani, Anna Alisi, Antonella Mosca, Nadia Panera, Christopher D. Byrne, Valerio Nobili – 26 March 2019 – Emerging evidence suggests that patatin‐like phospholipase domain–containing protein‐3 (PNPLA3) rs738409 genotype (the major genetic variant associated with susceptibility to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease [NAFLD]) is associated with decreased kidney function in adults. Currently, it is uncertain whether this association also occurs in children/adolescents and whether any association is independent of liver disease severity.

HA perfusion is avoided in living donor liver grafts for fear of damage to the intima and consequent risk of hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT).
Jeffrey M. Mah, Yvonne DeWit, Maya Djerboua, Alexandre Menard, Christopher M. Booth, Jennifer A. Flemming – 25 March 2019 – Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a procedure designed to treat portal hypertension. Hospital teaching status is an institutional factor found to be predictive of outcomes following several complex procedures; however, its impact on outcomes following TIPS is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the association between hospital teaching status and long‐term survival in patients with cirrhosis receiving TIPS.
