Background: The goal of the present study is to determine if using marginal donors negatively impacts the outcomes of emergency liver retransplantation.
Methods: A retrospective case-control study was performed, including all emergency liver retransplantations done in our center between 1990 and 2021. Recipients from the control group received the second grafts from "ideal donors", and patients from the case group received them from marginal donors.
Background: The initial objective of this study is to analyze the impact on survival of the preservation solution used. Secondarily, the influence of donor age, underlying pathology, and graft ischemia time is investigated.
Methods: A multicenter retrospective analytical observational study has been carried out.
Background: Liver retransplantation can be classified as urgent (when performed in the first week after the transplantation) or elective, which may be considered as early (first month post-transplantation) or late (after the first month). The time in which retransplantation takes place is determined by the cause that makes it necessary. The goal of this study is to analyze the causes and results of early retransplantation in our center.

- * During surgery, the large shunt was identified, and after closing it, portal vein flow significantly increased, resulting in a successful discharge without complications.
- * The findings highlight the importance of carefully assessing large SPSSs during LT, as decisions regarding their management can affect outcomes and risk of complications.
Objective: To assess the importance of intraoperative portal vein flow measurement during liver transplantation in relation to postoperative complications and graft and patient survival.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective review including 291 patients who had all the information and covering a period of 10 years (2007-2017). Using a receiver operating characteristic curve, a cut-off point that would have the greatest impact on the probability of being alive at 5 years was established.
