Objectives To explore trends in liver transplantation (LT) and outcomes for older recipients evaluation, counseling, appropriate referral of this vulnerable group adults. Design Prospective national cohort study. Setting Scientific Registry Transplant Recipients (January 1, 2003–December 31, 2016). Participants Older (aged ≥ 65) deceased donor liver‐only transplant (n=8,627). Measurements We evaluated temporal changes recipient, donor, characteristics post‐LT length stay (LOS), acute...
Background: This study was undertaken to evaluate the role of regional social vulnerability in geographic disparity for patients listed liver transplant with non-HCC MELD exceptions. Methods: Adults at a single center first time only without HCC after June 18, 2013 SRTR database as March 2021 were examined. Candidates mapped hospital referral regions (HRRs). Adjusted likelihood mortality and modeled. Advantaged HRRs defined those where exception more likely be transplanted, yet no die...
The utilization of venovenous bypass in liver transplantation (LT) has become less frequent and more center dependent over time. Unfortunately, this left many transplant surgeons, particularly younger trainees, unfamiliar with the techniques indications for its utilization. We present a case LT patient complete superior vena cava (SVC) occlusion prohibiting direct vascular access. A multi-disciplinary approach involving interventional radiology, anesthesiology, cardiac surgery, was used to...
