Kyo Won Lee, Sanghoon Lee, Jeungmin Huh, Chan Woo Cho, Nuri Lee, Hye Seung Kim, Kyunga Kim, Jong Man Kim, Gyu Seong Choi, Choon Hyuck David Kwon, Jae‐Won Joh, Suk‐Koo Lee – 12 August 2016 – A right liver graft with multiple hepatic artery (HA) stumps can be found in approximately 5% of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) using a right lobe graft. From January 2000 to June 2014, 1149 patients underwent LDLT procedures. Thirty patients with LDLT using a right lobe graft with multiple HA stumps and 149 patients with LDLT using a right lobe graft with a single HA stump were enrolled.

Impact of donor‐recipient genetic relationship on outcome of living donor liver transplantation

Mahmoud Abdelwahab Ali, Mohamed Morsi Elshobari, Tarek Salah, Al‐Refaey Kandeel, Ahmad Mohammad Sultan, Ahmad Nabieh Elghawalby, Ahmed Shehta, Usama Elsayed, Omar Fathy, Amr Yassen, Mohamed Abdel Wahab – 12 August 2016 – Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is a valuable option for expanding the donor pool, especially in localities where deceased organ harvesting is not allowed. In addition, rejection rates were found to be lower in LDLT, which is attributed to the fact that LDLT is usually performed between relatives.

Longterm outcomes of stent placement for hepatic venous outflow obstruction in adult liver transplantation recipients

Hee Ho Chu, Nam‐Joon Yi, Hyo‐Cheol Kim, Kwang‐Woong Lee, Kyung‐Suk Suh, Hwan Jun Jae, Jin Wook Chung – 12 August 2016 – The purpose of this study was to evaluate the longterm outcomes of stent placement for a hepatic venous outflow obstruction in adult liver transplantation recipients. From June 2002 to March 2014, 23 patients were confirmed to have a hepatic venous outflow obstruction after liver transplantation (18 of 789 living donors [2.3%] and 5 of 449 deceased donors [1.1%]) at our institute.
