First Report of Two-stage Living Donor Liver Transplantation to Avoid Futility and Ensure Double Equipoise in Acute Liver Failure Complicated by Toxic Liver Syndrome.

Acute hepatic failure may occasionally be complicated by toxic liver syndrome. Emergency hepatectomy for stabilization followed by delayed graft implantation is a recognized strategy in such cases in the setting of deceased donor liver transplantation. Living donor liver transplantation adds additional complexity to this scenario as the donor liver is a directed donation and failure to stabilize the patient after emergency hepatectomy can lead to a futile live donor hepatectomy, hepar-divisum, or an orphan graft.
