Long-Term Results After Liver Transplantation With “Livers That Nobody Wants” Within Eurotransplant: A Center's Experience
2008
Abstract Background Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) represents the only curative treatment for end-stage liver disease, but its application is limited because of organ shortages. The purpose of this study was to review the long-term outcomes after OLT during a 2-year period of 45 rescue offers organs within Eurotransplant. Patients and Methods Forty-five deceased donor liver allografts had been officially offered to and rejected by other transplantation centers 162 times prior to our acceptance.

Liver transplantation as a primary indication for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: a single-center experience.
2008
Abstract Background Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is not a widely accepted indication for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). The present study describes our institutional experience with patients who underwent transplantation for ICC as well as those with ICC who underwent transplantation with the incorrect diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Patients and Methods Data corresponding to ICC patients were reviewed for the purposes of this study. Patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma and incidentally found ICC after OLT for benign diseases were excluded from further consideration. Results Among the 10 patients, 6 underwent transplantation before 1996 and 4 after 2001. Tho…
