Marc‐Antoine Allard, Nobuhisa Akamatsu, Takashi Kokudo, Kosuke Kobayashi, Junichi Kaneko, Takeaki Ishizawa, Junichi Arita, Kiyoshi Hasegawa – 16 May 2020 – Spontaneous portosystemic shunts (SPSS) are commonly observed in patients undergoing living donor liver transplantation (LDLT); however, their impact on the outcome after transplantation is unclear. We aimed to assess the type, size, and the effects of SPSS on outcomes after LDLT. A total of 339 LDLT recipients in a single institution were included.

Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence is an imaging technique used in hepatobiliary surgery and LT.

Christopher J. Little, Andre A. S. Dick, James D. Perkins, Evelyn K. Hsu, Jorge D. Reyes – 13 May 2020 – Despite increased numbers of donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors, pediatric DCD livers are underused. To investigate possible reasons for this discrepancy, we conducted a retrospective cohort study using 2 data sets from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network for all deceased liver donors and for all recipients of DCD liver transplants from March 8, 1993, to June 30, 2018.

Gregory Dean, Stephen Hanauer, Josh Levitsky – 11 May 2020 – The pathogenesis of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a progressive biliary tract disease without approved medical therapy, is not well understood. The relationship between PSC and inflammatory bowel disease has inspired theories that intestinal factors may contribute to the development and progression of hepatobiliary fibrosis in PSC. There is evidence from both fecal and mucosa‐associated microbial studies that patients with PSC harbor an abnormal enteric microbiome.

Kawut – 11 May 2020 – We investigated the prevalence of spirometric restriction in liver transplantation (LT) candidates and the clinical impacts of restriction. We performed a cross‐sectional study within the Pulmonary Vascular Complications of Liver Disease 2 (PVCLD2) study, a multicenter prospective cohort study of patients being evaluated for LT.
