Mohamed Safwan, Shunji Nagai, Kelly Collins, Michael Rizzari, Atsushi Yoshida, Marwan Abouljoud – 27 December 2017 – Although minimally invasive techniques for living donor hepatectomy have been developed, the surgical feasibility and limitations remain to be elucidated. The risks and outcomes involved need to be better understood prior to their widespread application. The aim of this study was to assess feasibility of minimally invasive donor hepatectomy by reviewing our experience.

Patrik Nasr, Simone Ignatova, Stergios Kechagias, Mattias Ekstedt – 27 December 2017 – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disease in the world. The complete natural history of NAFLD is unknown because few high‐quality follow‐up studies have been conducted. Our aim was to find variables predicting disease severity through an extended follow‐up with serial biopsies.

Westerkamp, Ton Lisman, Robert J. Porte – 27 December 2017 – Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) enables viability assessment of donor livers prior to transplantation. NMP is frequently performed by using human blood products including red blood cells (RBCs) and fresh frozen plasma (FFP).

Wang, Anja Lautem, Lewis R. Roberts, Jesper B. Andersen – 26 December 2017 – Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma remains a highly heterogeneous malignancy that has eluded effective patient stratification to date. The extent to which such heterogeneity can be influenced by individual driver mutations remains to be evaluated.

Nipun Verma, Amritjyot Kaur, Ratiram Sharma, Ashish Bhalla, Navneet Sharma, Arka De, Virendra Singh – 26 December 2017 – Decompensated cirrhosis (DC) carries a high mortality. Liver transplantation (LT) is the treatment of choice; however, the limited availability of donor organs has resulted in high waitlist mortality. The present study investigated the impact of multiple courses of granulocyte‐colony stimulating factor (G‐CSF) with or without growth hormone (GH) in these patients.

R. Cutler Quillin, James V. Guarrera – 26 December 2017 – A finite supply of donor organs has led many transplant centers to accept marginal liver allografts with increasing frequency. These allografts may be at higher risk of primary nonfunction, early allograft dysfunction, and other recipient complications following liver transplantation. Machine perfusion preservation is an emerging technology that limits ischemia/reperfusion injury associated with preservation and may lead to improved outcomes following transplantation.
