Background: Portal vein reconstruction is a crucial factor affecting the outcome of a successful living-related liver transplantation. We describe here our experience with portal vein reconstruction in 314 cases of living-related liver transplantation with use of novel surgical modalities to enable the transplant surgeons to deal with any size mismatch between the donor's and recipient's portal veins...
Background: The goal of this study was to evaluate cause and outcome of biliary complications occurring after pediatric living related liver transplantation (LRLT). Methods: A database of 205 pediatric patients (71 male and 134 female) undergoing 208 LRLT from June 1990 to April 1996 was reviewed. Results: The overall incidence of bile duct complications was 13.9% (29 patients). There were 19 bile...
Background. The small guanosine triphosphate-binding protein ras regulates a signal transduction cascade linking cell surface receptors to mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Because the molecular signaling mechanisms underlying cardiac hypertrophy remain unclear, the current study examined the regulatory role of ras in both the biochemical and morphologic aspects of hypertrophy.Methods. Adenoviral-mediated...
Background. Hepatic vein (HV) reconstruction is crucial in partial liver transplantation in which the inferior vena cava (IVC) is preserved.Methods. We reviewed the medical records of 152 living-related donor liver transplantations (LRDLTs) in 150 children (45 left lobe grafts, 106 lateral segment grafts, and 1 right lobe graft) monitored for 12 months or longer.Results. A standard technique was a...
Background. Perioperative respiratory complications have been one of the largest obstacles to pediatric liver transplantation.Methods. The roles of fiberoptic bronchoscopy in perioperative respiratory management of pediatric liver transplantation were studied retrospectively.Results. In a group of 162 children who underwent pediatric living-related liver transplantation, 44 underwent 222 bronchoscopic...
