Peter Ghali, Paul J. Marotta, Eric M. Yoshida, Vincent G. Bain, Denis Marleau, Kevork Peltekian, Peter Metrakos, Marc Deschênes – 19 October 2005 – Cholangiocarcinoma is a biliary tumor, which not infrequently complicates primary sclerosing cholangitis. It carries a poor prognosis and, with the exception of carefully selected individuals in research protocols, contraindicates orthotopic liver transplantation. There has been some suggestion that cholangiocarcinomas incidentally discovered at the time of transplantation carry a better prognosis.

Connie L. Davis – 19 October 2005 – Renal and hepatic function are often intertwined both through the existence of associated primary organ diseases and hemodynamic interrelationships. This connection occasionally results in the chronic failure of both organs, necessitating the need for combined kidney‐liver transplantation. Since 1990, over 1,790 patients in the United States have received such transplants with a patient survival somewhat less than that for patients receiving either organ alone.
