Christian Jansen, Alexander Cox, Robert Schueler, Matthias Schneider, Jennifer Lehmann, Michael Praktiknjo, Alessandra Pohlmann, Johannes Chang, Steffen Manekeller, Georg Nickenig, Gabriela Berlakovich, Christian P. Strassburg, Christoph Hammerstingl, Katharina Staufer, Jonel Trebicka – 17 August 2017 – Late allocation of organs for transplant impairs post–liver transplantation (LT) survival. Cardiac dysfunction, especially diastolic and autonomic dysfunction, is frequent and plays an important role in the prognosis of patients with cirrhosis.

Yoshikuni Kawaguchi, Kiyoshi Hasegawa, Naoki Okura, Harufumi Maki, Nobuhisa Akamatsu, Junichi Kaneko, Junichi Arita, Yoshihiro Sakamoto, Kuni Ohtomo, Norihiro Kokudo – 17 August 2017 – Living donor liver transplantation using the left liver graft with the middle hepatic vein (MHV) is a well‐established procedure. Following such procedures, outflow obstruction occurs in remnant livers. However, the effects of the outflow‐obstructed liver volume (LVOut‐Ob), with or without venous communication development, remain unclear.

Selby, Jorge Reyes, Qing Sun, Kimberly Haberman, Rakesh Sindhi – 17 August 2017 – A tenth of all pediatric liver transplantations (LTs) are performed for unresectable liver malignancies, especially the more common hepatoblastoma (HBL). Less understood are outcomes after LT for the rare hepatocellular carcinoma, nonhepatoblastoma embryonal tumors (EMBs), and slow growing metastatic neuroendocrine tumors of childhood.

Catherine de Magnée, Francis Veyckemans, Thierry Pirotte, Renaud Menten, Dana Dumitriu, Philippe Clapuyt, Karlien Carbonez, Catherine Barrea, Thierry Sluysmans, Christine Sempoux, Isabelle Leclercq, Francis Zech, Xavier Stephenne, Raymond Reding – 17 August 2017 – Cirrhosis in adults is associated with modifications of systemic and liver hemodynamics, whereas little is known about the pediatric population. The aim of this work was to investigate whether alterations of hepatic and systemic hemodynamics were correlated with cirrhosis severity in children.

Sandy Feng, John Bucuvalas – 17 August 2017 – Impeccable management of immunosuppression is required to ensure the best longterm outcomes for liver transplant recipients. This is particularly challenging for children who arguably need 8 decades of graft and patient survival. Too little risks chronic, often subclinical allo‐immune injury while too much risks insidious and cumulative toxicities. Historically, immunosuppression minimization or withdrawal has been a strategy to optimize the longevity of liver transplant recipients.
