Macrosteatotic and nonmacrosteatotic grafts respond differently to intermittent hepatic inflow occlusion: Comparison of recipient survival
Sangbin Han, Gyu‐Seong Choi, Jong Man Kim, Ji Hye Kwon, Hyo‐Won Park, Gaabsoo Kim, Choon Hyuck David Kwon, Mi Sook Gwak, Justin Sangwook Ko, Jae‐Won Joh – 17 February 2015 – Intermittent hepatic inflow occlusion (IHIO) during liver graft procurement is known to confer protection against graft ischemia/reperfusion injury and thus may benefit the recipient's outcome. We evaluated whether the protective effect of IHIO differs with the presence of macrosteatosis (MaS) and with an increase or decrease in the cumulative occlusion time.
