Clin Transplant. 2023 Jun;37(6):e14995. doi: 10.1111/ctr.14995. Epub 2023 Apr 19.

Abstract

In this report, we discuss several technical and anatomical details of ex-situ H67 reduction of liver grafts during hypothermic oxygenated perfusion to prevent large-for-size syndrome in the case of anthropometric graft-recipient mismatch.

Keywords: donor-recipient matching; ex-vivo resection; large-for-size syndrome; liver graft reduction; liver transplantation; perfusion.
