Early allograft dysfunction (EAD) is known to be a prototype of graft failure and ultimately influences long-term graft failure or death. We hypothesized that pretransplant thrombogenicity evaluated by procoagulant and anticoagulant, von Willebrand factor (vWF), factor Ⅷ (FⅧ), protein C (PC) and their imbalance ratio of vWF-to-PC (vWFPCR) and FVIII...

Bloodstream infection (BSI) is a common complication after living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Some patients develop recurrent BSIs. We evaluated the impacts of early recurrent BSIs (ER-BSIs) on outcomes in LDLT recipients. LDLT cases between 2008 and 2016 were included. Early BSI (E-BSI) was defined as a BSI event that occurred within 2 mon...

BackgroundDonor safety is the top priority in living-donor liver transplantation. Splenic hypertrophy and platelet count decrease after donor surgery are reported to correlate with the extent of hepatectomy, but other aftereffects of donor surgeries are unclear. In this study, we evaluated the surgical effects of donor hepatectomy on skeletal muscl...

BackgroundHepatic artery thrombosis can lead to graft loss associated with severe hepatic infarction or bile duct ischemia. When anatomical hepatic artery reconstruction is impossible in liver transplantation or hepato-pancreatic biliary surgery, portal vein arterialization (PVA) is proposed as a salvage technique. Herein, we report our experience ...

PurposeLiving-donor liver transplantations (LDLTs) with maternal grafts can be more successful than those with paternal grafts because of their tolerance to non-inherited maternal antigens. We reviewed LDLT patients to investigate the relationship between acute rejection and donor sex.MethodsLDLT patients between January 2010 and November 2015 were...

We report the case of a 53-year-old-man who developed human T-cell leukemia virus type-1-associated myelopathy (HAM) after ABO-incompatible liver transplantation for alcoholic liver cirrhosis. The living donor was seropositive for human T-cell leukemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1) and the recipient was seronegative for HTLV-1 before transplantation. After...

BackgroundPortal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a common complication for patients with end-stage liver disease. The presence of PVT used to be a contraindication to living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of preoperative PVT on perioperative and long-term outcomes of the recipients after LDLT.Methods...

BackgroundMagnetic compression anastomosis (MCA) is a minimally invasive method of anastomosis that does not involve a surgical procedure in patients with stricture, obstruction, or dehiscence of anastomosis after surgery. We experienced a case of complete dehiscence of bilioenteric anastomosis that was successfully treated by MCA.Case presentation...

The patient was a 50-year-old female with an initial diagnosis of a single hepatocellular carcinoma in liver cirrhosis. The tumor was located in the posterior liver segment (S7) and measured 5 cm with a rapid growth rate and portal invasion. The pre-treatment Child-Pugh (C-P) was grade A (six points). The total prescribed dose of carbon-ion radioth...

BackgroundPortopulmonary hypertension (PPH) is a relatively rare but well-recognized complication of end-stage liver disease. Moderate or severe PPH (mean pulmonary artery pressure [mPAP] ≥ 35 mmHg) is usually a contraindication for liver transplantation due to high operation-related mortality. Here, we report on a patient with moderate PPH whose c...
