Vena cava encirclement predicts difficult native hepatectomy

Fabrizio Panaro, Gildas Boisset, Gérald Chanques, Boris Guiu, Astrid Herrero, Hassan Bouyabrine, Georges Philippe Pageaux, Karim Boudjema, Francis Navarro – 5 May 2016 – Recipient hepatectomy is a challenging liver transplantation (LT) procedure that has life‐threatening complications. The current predictive mortality clinic‐biological scores (Child/Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease [MELD]) do not take into consideration the recipient's liver anatomy.

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.

Outcomes of liver transplantation with liver grafts from pediatric donors used in adult recipients

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.

Coagulation parameters and major bleeding in critically ill patients with cirrhosis

Andreas Drolz, Thomas Horvatits, Kevin Roedl, Karoline Rutter, Katharina Staufer, Nikolaus Kneidinger, Ulrike Holzinger, Christian Zauner, Peter Schellongowski, Gottfried Heinz, Thomas Perkmann, Stefan Kluge, Michael Trauner, Valentin Fuhrmann – 28 April 2016 – Disturbances of coagulation and hemostasis are common in patients with liver cirrhosis. The typical laboratory pattern mimics disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
