The shortage of organs has led centers to expand their criteria for the acceptance of
marginal donors. The combination of multiple marginal factors seems to be additive on graft …

The scarcity of ideal liver grafts for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) has led transplant
teams to investigate other sources of grafts in order to augment the donor liver pool. One …

Transplant physicians and candidates have become increasingly aware that donor
characteristics significantly impact liver transplantation outcomes. Although the qualitative …

Objective: Severely limited organ resources mandate maximum utilization of donor allografts
for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). This work aimed to identify factors that impact …

Background: Although there is a worldwide need to expand the pool of available liver grafts,
cadaveric livers with severe steatosis (> 60%) are discarded for orthotopic liver …

Background & Aims There is an increasing discrepancy between the number of potential
liver graft recipients and the number of organs available. Organ allocation should follow the …

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to assess the accumulated effects of marginal donor
quality factors on liver preservation injury (LPI). Methods. The most recent 400 consecutive …

Use of very old donors in liver transplantation (LT) is controversial because advanced donor
age is associated with a higher risk for graft dysfunction and worse long-term results …

To assess the immediate and long‐term effects of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) in
deceased donor. liver transplantation (LT), we designed a prospective, randomized …

This study aimed to develop and validate a comprehensive model that predicts survival after
liver transplantation based on pretransplant donor and recipient characteristics. Complete …
