Donor Liver Transplantation

AbstractSevere pulmonary hypertension is a contraindication for liver transplantation owing to high mortality. However, decision-making regarding the treatment approach for patients with bilateral peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis, typically complicated by elevated main pulmonary artery and right ventricle pressures, can be challenging. Here, we report successful living donor liver transplantation after bilateral pulmonary artery stent implantation in a patient with Alagille syndrome, severe bilateral peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis, and extremely high main pulmonary artery and right ventricle pressures.

Donor Liver Transplantation

Abstract Liver transplantation for patients with atrial septal defect and pulmonary artery stenosis, causing high right atrium pressure, raises concerns about embolism in systemic vessels during reperfusion of the donor liver graft. Temporal atrial septal defect occlusion by a catheter is a simple and easy method of preventing the complication.

The Right

Living donor liver transplantation is a relatively new procedure in which the right side of the liver is harvested in a healthy donor and transplanted into a recipient. After the first case in 1994, over 3000 cases have been done worldwide. This review summarizes the reasons why the procedure is needed, describes its main technical aspects, highlights the boundaries in which it can be done safely, summarizes the current experience worldwide and describes the main points of the program in our unit. We argue that living-donor transplantation is a viable alternative to a long time on the waiting list for several patients, and it can be performed safely and successfully provided that all precautions are undertaken to minimize the risks in the donor and to increase the chances of a good outcome in the recipients. If these prerequisites are met, and within the framework of a structured multidisciplinary program, we believe that living-donor liver transplantation should be funded by health insurances as a recognized therapeutic option.
