Biliary Complications in Recipients of Living-Donor Liver Transplant: A Single-Center Review of 120 Patients.

Objectives: Biliary complications are common after living-donor liver transplant. This retrospective study reviewed our experience with biliary complications in recipients of living-donor liver transplant.

Materials And Methods: Over our 9-year study period, 120 patients underwent living-donor liver transplant.

A portal pressure cut-off of 15 versus a cut-off of 20 for prevention of small-for-size syndrome in liver transplantation: A comparative study.

Aim: Portal hypertension has recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of small-for-size syndrome (SFSS) in adult-to-adult living-donor liver transplantation (A-LDLT). The aim of our study is to compare the portal venous pressure (PVP) cut-off values of 15 mmHg and 20 mmHg in terms of prevention of SFSS in A-LDLT.

Methods: Seventy-six patients underwent A-LDLT.
