Abstract More liver transplants (LT) are performed worldwide thanks to extended criteria donors (ECD). This is paralleled by a supposed increased risk of allograft failure (AF) at 90 and 365 days. study has been designed portray the LT practice investigate models AF prediction impact mitigation strategies for further improving graft patient outcomes. multicenter, international, non-competitive, observational two segment on consecutive LTs over periods (2017–2019 2022–2024). A steering...
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Biliary fistula is one of the most common complications after liver resection and associated with significant morbidity mortality. One methods used to evaluate biliary fistulas White test, which consists injecting a lipid emulsion into bile duct. However, no standard technique for performing test has been published. AIMS: The aim this study was standardize in patients undergoing hepatectomies, without previous cholecystectomy, assess preliminary results. METHODS:...
Background. Factor V has never been compared to a validated early allograft dysfunction (EAD) definition. We aimed assess factor as biomarker of EAD and predictor graft loss after liver transplantation (LT). Methods. retrospectively assessed the serum levels on postoperative day 1 LT. Patients were divided according their into ≤36.1 U/mL > 36.1 groups. The primary outcome was within 1, 3, 6 months. secondary EAD, defined by Olthoff et al. Predictors outcomes identified multivariable...
Background. Transarterial chemoembolization alone or in association with radiofrequency ablation is an effective bridging strategy for patients hepatocellular carcinoma awaiting a liver transplant. However, cost of this therapy may limit its utilization. This study was designed to evaluate the outcomes protocol involving transarterial embolization, percutaneous ethanol injection, both methods carcinomas prior transplantation. Methods. Retrospective review all consecutive adult who underwent...
Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a complication of end stage liver disease (ESLD) and manifested by severe hypoxemia, which usually responds to transplantation (LT). As compared patients undergoing LT for other etiologies, with HPS present an increased risk postoperative morbidity mortality. There no effective treatment whose hypoxemia does not respond LT. This subset at highly death. are very few reports on the use extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in this setting rapid response....
Giant hepatic extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumor treated with cytoreductive surgery and adjuvant systemic therapy: A case report review of literature
ABSTRACT Background: Reliable measurement of basal energy expenditure (BEE) in liver transplant (LT) recipients is necessary for adapting requirements, improving nutritional status and preventing weight gain. Indirect calorimetry (IC) the gold standard measuring BEE. However, BEE may be estimated through alternative methods, including electrical bioimpedance (BI), Harris-Benedict Equation (HBE), Mifflin-St. Jeor (MSJ) that carry easier applicability lower cost. Aim: To determine which three...
PURPOSE: The oxidative stress is an important mechanism responsible for dysfunction after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Glutathione (GSH) low levels cold storage render the grafts vulnerable to reperfusion injury. Aim of this study was evaluate GSH and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) concentrations, hepatocellular injury function in optimal suboptimal human OLT. METHODS: Liver biopsies were taken 33 patients before implant two hours reperfusion, allowing determination GSH, GSSG ratio...
