Background We systematically reviewed the literature on definitions and outcomes of large-
for-size (LFS) syndrome in orthotopic liver transplantation (LT). Methods This systematic …

Objectives: The ideal ratio between liver transplant graft mass and recipient body weight is
unknown, but the graft probably must weigh 0.8% to 2.0% recipient weight. When this ratio> …

OBJECTIVE: In most cases of pediatric liver transplantation, the clinical scenario of large-for-
size transplants can lead to hepatic dysfunction and a decreased blood supply to the liver …

Background Ischemic preconditioning (IPC), either direct (DIPC) or remote (RIPC), is a
procedure aimed at reducing the harmful effects of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury …

Background Ischemia–reperfusion injury is partly responsible for morbidity in pediatric liver
transplantation. Large-for-size (LFS) liver transplantation has not been fully studied in the …

Background Portal venous access for blood sampling, infusion therapy, and measurement of
portal venous pressure is of special interest for experimental studies in surgery …

Background: The pig is an essential model for liver transplantation research and training.
However, it develops hemodynamic instability during the anhepatic phase, requiring a short …

Background After whole graft orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), adaptation of the large
grafts' volume to recipient weight is widely accepted despite the paucity of evidence on this …

Background: In pediatric liver transplantation, the optimal size of the transplanted liver
ranges between 0.8% and 4.0% of the recipient's weight. Sometimes, the graft weight …
