The Utility of Noninvasive Scoring Systems for Prediction of Hepatic Steatosis in Liver Transplantation Donor Candidates
(Elsevier USA, 2019)
Background: The degree of liver steatosis is an important factor for donor selection in living donor liver transplantation. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) has long been used in many transplantation centers to ...
Experience in Liver Transplantation Due to Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis: A Single Center Experience
(Elsevier USA, 2019)
Purpose: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease of unknown origin. Although the course of PSC is variable, it frequently is progressive, leading to cirrhosis and requiring a liver ...
Role of Preoperative Viral Load and Presence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in the Biliary Complications After Liver Transplantation Due to Hepatitis C Virus
(Elsevier USA, 2019)
Background: Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a global health problem, and the need for liver transplants is ever-growing. For optimal surgical success, risk factors must be identified and HCV viral load must ...
A Changing Etiologic Scenario in Liver Transplantation: A Single-Center Cohort Study From Turkey
(Elsevier USA, 2019)
Purpose: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an increasing cause of liver transplantation (LT) worldwide, especially in Europe and North America. In this study, we aimed to investigate the changing pattern of etiologic ...
Utility of Polyethylene Terephthalate (Dacron) Vascular Grafts for Venous Outflow Reconstruction in Living-Donor Liver Transplantations
(Elsevier USA, 2019)
Background: Venous outflow reconstruction of modified right-lobe liver grafts has been shown to prevent the occurrence of graft congestion and subsequent complications, including graft loss. In the present study, we aimed ...
Value of Imaging Findings in the Prediction of Microvascular Invasion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
(Elsevier USA, 2019)
Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the utility of some imaging findings in predicting microvascular invasion (MVI) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence risk after liver transplantation. Method: ...
Does Multiple Bile Duct Anastomosis in Living Donor Liver Transplantation Affect the Postoperative Biliary Complications?
(Elsevier USA, 2019)
Purpose: The variation of multiple bile ducts in a living donor graft is not infrequent; however, the literature on the impact of the number of bile ducts on postoperative biliary complications is scarce. We investigated ...
Novel Application of Internal-External Drainage Catheter as Biliary Stent for Percutaneous Transhepatic Treatment of Biliary Strictures in Living Donor Liver Transplantation Recipient Patients
(Elsevier USA, 2019)
Objectives: Although endoscopic management is considered as the first-line treatment for biliary strictures, it may be challenging in living donor liver transplant recipients due to the complex nature of duct-to-duct ...
Body Mass Index and Unenhanced CT as a Predictor of Hepatic Steatosis in Potential Liver Donors
(Elsevier USA, 2019)
Background: In living-donor liver transplantation, donor hepatic steatosis is crucial for both the donor and the recipient. Body mass index (BMI) and the unenhanced computed tomography liver attenuation index (CT LAI) are ...
Scoring Systems and Postoperative Outcomes in Pediatric Liver Transplantation
(Elsevier USA, 2019)
Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of risk scores (Pediatric End-stage Liver Disease [PELD], Child-Turcotte-Pugh [CTP], and Pediatric Risk of Mortality [PRISM-III]) of pediatric liver transplant ...
