Living Donor Liver Transplantation in Children

Living Donor Liver Transplantation in Children: Surgical and Immunological Results in 250 Recipients at Université Catholique de Louvain.

Evaluate the outcome of pediatric living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) regarding portal vein reconstruction, ABO-compatibility and impact of maternal donation on graft acceptance.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Data from 250 pediatric LDLT recipients (and their donors), transplanted at Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc between July 1993 and June 2012, were collected retrospectively using electronic data files. Results were analysed according to ABO matching and portal vein complications. Uni- and multi-variate analysis was used to study the impact of immunosuppression, gender match and maternal donation on acute rejection rate.
