We present a case of long-term survival of a patient who underwent living-donor liver transplantation for unresectable liver metastases of colon cancer. Two years after left hemicolectomy and subsequent to repeated liver resections, this patient presented with unresectable metastatic disease confined to the liver. She was offered a living-donor liver transplantation, and her husband agreed to be the donor. Five years after transplant, she was alive and recurrence free.

Allograft tolerance after adult living donor liver transplantation: a case-control study.
BMC Surg
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care and Pain Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Mansoura University, Mansoura, Egypt.
Background: To investigate the incidence and potential predictors of immune tolerance among adult living donor liver transplant (LDLT) recipients.
Methods: This case-control study included adult recipients who underwent LDLT between May 2004 and January 2018, with at least a 5-year follow-up after LDLT. We divided the study recipients into two groups: Group 1 (Tolerance Group) included recipients who achieved operational or prope tolerance for at least one year; Group 2 (Control Group) included recipients who did not achieve tolerance.

Validation of a Pretransplant Risk Prediction Model for Early Allograft Dysfunction After Living-donor Liver Transplantation.
Transplantation
January 2025
University of Zurich, Wyss Translational Center, Zurich, Switzerland.
Background: Early allograft dysfunction (EAD) affects outcomes in liver transplantation (LT). Existing risk models developed for deceased-donor LT depend on posttransplant factors and fall short in living-donor LT (LDLT), where pretransplant evaluations are crucial for preventing EAD and justifying the donor's risks.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from 2944 adult patients who underwent LDLT at 17 centers between 2016 and 2020.
Intraoperative Hemodynamic Monitoring and Prediction of Early Allograft Dysfunction Following Living Donor Liver Transplantation: A Systematic Review.
Clin Transplant
February 2025
Department of Transplant Surgery, University of California, California, San Francisco, USA.
Background: Multiple intraoperative hemodynamic parameters are associated with an increased risk of early allograft dysfunction (EAD) following living donor liver transplantation (LDLT); however, there is significant center-to-center variability in terms of which parameters are used. We sought to determine which intraoperative hemodynamic parameters are most predictive of EAD following LDLT.
Methods: This is a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO ID: CRD42023409711).
Outcomes of Liver Transplant for Hepatic Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma.
Clin Transplant
February 2025
Division of Transplantation Surgery, Department of Surgery, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
Introduction: Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEH) is a rare indication of liver transplant with limited evidence.
Methods: Adult recipients undergoing first-time liver-only transplant from 2002 to 2021 in the United States were identified using the UNOS/OPTN database. We compared post-transplant outcomes of recipients receiving liver transplant for HEH versus other diagnoses.
