Postreperfusion Biopsy as a Predictor of Biliary Complication After Deceased Donor Liver Transplantation. A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Transplant Proc
November 2022
Background: Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) on postreperfusion biopsies is associated with worse outcomes after liver transplantation, although the influence on biliary complications (BC) remains poorly studied. Therefore, the primary aim of our study was to assess the influence of IRI on the incidence of BC. A secondary aim was to assess the influence of steatosis on biliary complications and determine factors that predictor BC.

Aim: To determine the correlation between the severity of IRI in PRB and overall graft and patient survival and, secondarily, to identify factors on PRB that predict poor graft outcomes.
