Kristopher P. Croome, David D. Lee, Justin M. Burns, Hector Saucedo‐Crespo, Dana K. Perry, Justin H. Nguyen, C. Burcin Taner, Mayo Clinic Collaborative in Transplant Research and Outcomes – 4 May 2016 – Although there is an agreement that liver grafts from pediatric donors (PDs) should ideally be used for pediatric patients, there remain situations when these grafts are turned down for pediatric recipients and are then offered to adult recipients. The present study aimed to investigate the outcomes of using these grafts for liver transplantation (LT) in adult patients.

Longterm clinical and radiological follow‐up of living liver donors

Sarwa Darwish Murad, Jeff L. Fidler, John J. Poterucha, William Sanchez, Sheila G. Jowsey, David Nagorney, Charles B. Rosen, Julie K. Heimbach – 4 May 2016 – Although short‐term risks of living donor hepatectomy have been well defined, little is known about the longterm impact. We aimed to perform a systematic follow‐up to screen for unanticipated health consequences of liver donation.
