Kremers, Scott L. Nyberg – 19 July 2018 – Acute liver failure (ALF) is a catastrophic condition that can occur after major liver resection. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the spheroid reservoir bio‐artificial liver (SRBAL) on survival, serum chemistry, and liver regeneration in posthepatectomy ALF pigs.

Choon Hyuck David Kwon, Gyu‐Seong Choi, Jong Man Kim, Chan Woo Cho, Jinsoo Rhu, Gaab Soo Kim, Dong Hyun Sinn, Jae‐Won Joh – 18 July 2018 – Even after 2 decades of experience in laparoscopic hepatectomy, data on purely laparoscopic approach for donor hepatectomy in adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) are limited. We report our initial experience of a purely laparoscopic approach for donor hepatectomy for adult recipients to explore its potential application in the management of donors.

Yuki Imaoka, Masahiro Ohira, Ryosuke Nakano, Seiichi Shimizu, Shintaro Kuroda, Hiroyuki Tahara, Kentaro Ide, Tsuyoshi Kobayashi, Hideki Ohdan – 18 July 2018 – Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is known as a risk factor of coronary artery disease, stroke, hyperphosphatemia, chronic inflammation, diabetes, and decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate. However, the clinical implications of incidental AAC findings in liver transplantation (LT) have not been evaluated in terms of posttransplantation survival and complications.
