Is there a difference between survival in liver transplant with LDLT vs DDLT with high MELD score?

18 January 2014 1 9K Report

Data on survival of LDLT for high MELD is controvertial.

We need to compare LDLT and DDLT for high MELD.

It is difficult to perform a comparison of the outcomes in the published literature due to the heterogeneity in practice of LDLT versus DDLT around the world. It all comes down to context and hence the availability of donor livers via either route. The HongKong liver transplant programme does publish outcome data for both LDLT and DDLT. Look for publications fro Albert C Chan or otherwise look up either ST Fan or CM Lo on Medline.
