Popis: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the European experience after Adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation using the left liver (LL-aLDLT). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: LL-aLDLT decreases donor risk but provides a smaller graft that increases recipient risk as compared with right liver (RL-aLDLT). However, there is little knowledge of results obtained after LL-aLDLT in Europe. METHODS: This is a European multicenter retrospective study which aims to analyze donor and recipient outcomes after 46 LL-aLDLT. RESULTS: Seventy-six percent of the grafts were harvested by minimally invasive approach. Mean donor hospital stay was 7.5 ± 3.5 days. Donor liver function was minimally impaired, with 36 donors (78.3%) without any 90-day complication, and 4 (8.7%) presenting major complications. One, 3, and 5-year recipient survival was 90.9%, 82.7%, and 82.7%, respectively. However, graft survival was of 59.4%, 56.9%, and 56.9% at 1, 3, and 5 years respectively, due to a 26.1% urgent liver retransplantation (ReLT) rate, mainly due to SFSS (n = 5) and hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT, n = 5). Risk factor analysis for ReLT and HAT showed an association with a graft to body weight ratio (GBWR) 0.6% was associated with a lower ReLT rate (0% vs. 33%, P = 0.044). CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis showed low donor morbidity and preserved liver function. Recipient outcomes, however, were hampered by a high ReLT rate. A strict selection of both donor and recipients is the key to minimize graft loss.
