Neonates with acute liver failure have higher overall mortality but similar posttransplant outcomes as older infants

Swati Antala, Bridget Whitehead, Justin Godown, Matt Hall, Anna Banc‐Husu, Estella M. Alonso, Sarah A. Taylor – 24 June 2022 – Neonatal acute liver failure (ALF) carries a high mortality rate; however, little data exist on its peritransplant hospital course. This project aimed to identify factors associated with outcomes in neonates with ALF using large multicenter databases.

Graft aberrant hepatic arteries in deceased donor liver transplantation: The “one liver, one artery” approach

Riccardo Pravisani, Ailton Sepulveda, Lorenzo Cocchi, Estrella Mello, Francois Cauchy, Safi Dokmak, Olivier Farges, Francois Durand, Emmanuel Weiss, Federica Dondero, Mickaël Lesurtel – 23 June 2022 – In liver transplantation (LT), graft aberrant hepatic arteries (aHAs) frequently require complex arterial reconstructions, potentially increasing the risk of post‐operative complications. However, intrahepatic hilar arterial shunts are physiologically present and may allow selective aHA ligation.
