Increased use of split liver grafts in adult recipients following implementation of a pediatric liver transplant program.

Background: Split liver transplantation (SLT) is a strategy to address organ shortage, but is a technically more demanding procedure than whole graft liver transplantation (LT). We aimed to determine the outcomes following SLT in adult recipients as well as to highlight the impact that having a pediatric LT program has on SLT implementation.

Methods: All SLTs conducted at a single-center from 2010 to 2019 were identified.
