Living liver donor death related to complications of myeloma

Emmanuel Melloul, Federica Dondero, Catherine Paugam‐Burtz, Lila Bouadma, Bertrand Arnulf, Jacques Belghiti – 25 February 2009 – We report a donor death after right hepatectomy for living donor transplantation due to an undiagnosed myeloma. The 47‐year‐old donor, who was the 147th case performed in our department, was in excellent health without any abnormalities in the preoperative investigations.

Techniques of cardiac output measurement during liver transplantation: Arterial pulse wave versus thermodilution

Peter Nissen, Johannes J. Van Lieshout, Srdan Novovic, Morten Bundgaard‐Nielsen, Niels H. Secher – 25 February 2009 – In this study, we compared continuous cardiac output (CO) obtained from the femoral arterial pressure by simulation of an aortic input impedance model [model‐simulated cardiac output (MCO)] to thermodilution cardiac output (TDCO) determined by bolus injection during liver transplantation. Both variables were measured in 39 adult patients (13 females) every 10th minute during liver transplant surgery.

Hepatitis B virus–specific CD4 T cell immunity after liver transplantation for chronic hepatitis B

Ying Luo, Chung Mau Lo, Cindy K. Cheung, George K. Lau, John Wong – 25 February 2009 – Cellular immunity plays an important role in the long‐term control of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. We studied the changes in HBV‐specific CD4 T cell immunity after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for chronic hepatitis B under antiviral prophylaxis.
