Thomas E. Starzl Transplant Surgery SOA: Life After a Liver Transplant—Victories, Challenges, and Opportunities for More

Excellent patient and graft survival have translated into an aging liver transplant recipient cohort that resembles a general chronic disease population. This session addresses the complexity of long-term care of liver transplant survivors, strategies to mitigate morbidity, and approaches to promote the long-term health and well-being of liver transplant recipients.
