ABSTRACT

Pediatric liver transplantation (PLT) is an effective strategy of treating various acute or chronic end-stage liver diseases and inherited metabolic diseases in children.PLT has been applied in many transplant centers nationwide and has achieved satisfactory results.However,the development of transplant centers is uneven,and there is a lack of consensus and standards within the industry.In order to reduce post-operative complications,accelerate post-operative recovery,and improve the short-and long-term quality of life of children,the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Committee of Chinese Research Hospital Association organized multidisciplinary experts to summarize the progress of domestic and international research,and formulated a perioperative consensus on PLT based on the principles of evidence-based medicine.The consensus provides recommendations for perioperative PLT from three aspects:preoperative assessment and preparation,intraoperative management and postoperative management,in order to provide reference guidelines for centers that are conducting or preparing to conduct PLT.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: In Brazil, the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score is used to prioritize patients for deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT). Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) receive standardized MELD exception points to account for their cancer risk of mortality, which is not reflected by their MELD score. OBJECTIVE: To compare DDLT rates between patients with and without HCC in Rio Grande do Sul, the Southernmost state of Brazil. METHODS - We retrospectively studied 825 patients on the liver-transplant waiting list from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2016, in a transplant center located in Porto Alegre, the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, to compare DDLT rates between those with and without HCC. The time-varying hazard of waiting list/DDLT was estimated, reporting the subhazard ratio (SHR) of waiting list/DDLT/dropout with 95% confidence intervals (CI). The final competing risk model was adjusted for age, MELD score, exception points, and ABO group. RESULTS: Patients with HCC underwent a transplant almost three times faster than patients with a calculated MELD score (SHR 2.64; 95% CI 2.10-3.31; P<0.001). The DDLT rate per 100 person-months was 11.86 for HCC patients vs 3.38 for non-HCC patients. The median time on the waiting list was 5.6 months for patients with HCC and 25 months for patients without HCC. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrated that, in our center, patients on the waiting list with HCC have a clear advantage over candidates listed with a calculated MELD score.


RESUMO CONTEXTO: No Brasil, o escore MELD (Model for End-Stage Liver Disease) é utilizado para priorizar os pacientes para transplante hepático de doador falecido (THDF). Pacientes com carcinoma hepatocelular (CHC) recebem pontos de exceção padronizados pelo MELD para contrapesar o risco de mortalidade do seu câncer, que não é refletido pelo seu escore MELD. OBJETIVO: Comparar as taxas de THDF entre pacientes com e sem CHC no Rio Grande do Sul, o Estado mais ao sul do Brasil. MÉTODOS: Foram estudados retrospectivamente 825 pacientes em lista de espera de transplante de fígado entre 1 de janeiro de 2007 e 31 de dezembro de 2016 em um centro de transplantes localizado em Porto Alegre, capital do Rio Grande do Sul, para comparação das taxas de THDF entre aqueles com e sem CHC. Foi estimado o risco variável no tempo de lista de espera/THDF, com relato da taxa de sub-risco (SHR) de lista de espera/THDF/desistência com intervalos de confiança (IC) de 95%. O modelo final de risco competitivo foi ajustado para idade, escore MELD, pontos de exceção e grupo ABO. RESULTADOS: Os candidatos com CHC foram submetidos a um transplante quase três vezes mais rápido do que os pacientes com um escore MELD calculado (SHR 2,64; IC 95% 2,10-3,31; P<0,001). A taxa de THDF por 100 pessoas-mês foi de 11,86 para os pacientes com CHC vs 3,38 para os pacientes sem CHC. O tempo mediano de permanência em lista de espera foi de 5,6 meses para os pacientes com CHC e 25 meses para os pacientes sem CHC. CONCLUSÃO: Nossos resultados demonstraram que, em nosso centro, pacientes em lista de espera com CHC têm evidente vantagem sobre candidatos listados com um escore MELD calculado.

ABSTRACT

Background: Liver transplantation (LT) is an option for people with liver failure who cannot be cured with other therapies and for some people with liver cancer. Aim: To describe, and analyze the first 300 LT clinical results, and to establish our learning curve. Material and Methods: Retrospective cohort study with data obtained from a prospectively collected LT Program database. We included all LT performed at a single center from March 1994 to September 2017. The database gathered demographics, diagnosis, indications for LT, surgical aspects and postoperative courses. We constructed a cumulative summation test for learning curve (LC-CUSUM) using 30-day post-LT mortality. Mortality at 30 days, and actuarial 1-, and 5-year survival rate were analyzed. Results: A total of 281 patients aged 54 (0-71) years (129 women) underwent 300 LT. Ten percent of patients were younger than 18 years old. The first, second and third indications for LT were non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, chronic autoimmune hepatitis and alcoholic liver cirrhosis, respectively. Acute liver failure was the LT indication in 51 cases (17%). The overall complication rate was 71%. Infectious and biliary complications were the most common of them (47 and 31% respectively). The LC-CUSUM curve shows that the first 30 patients corresponded to the learning curve. The peri-operative mortality was 8%. Actuarial 1 and 5-year survival rates were 82 and 71.4%, respectively. Conclusions: Outcome improvement of a LT program depends on the accumulation of experience after the first 30 transplants and the peri-operative mortality directly impacted long-term survival.

ABSTRACT

Background: Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) remains an excellent treatment approach for HCC in well-selected candidates. Milan Criteria (MC) (a single tumor up to 5cm or up to 3 tumors none larger than 3.0 cm) is the most widely used criteria for selection of those patients. Our aim is to study the current situation of the MC focusing on patient survival and tumor recurrence free rate from 1 to 5-yrs after OLT over the past 10 years. Material and Methods: We have reviewed 59 papers published between2000-2009; from Asia (42.3%), Europe (33.9%) and North America (20.4%). 5.525 patients have undergone OLT within MC. The overall patient survival rate and tumor recurrence free rate from 1 to 5-yrs were analyzed. Results: Overall patient survival rates were 1 year (87.26%), 2 years (81.95%), 3 years (77.47%), 4 years (75.24%) and 5 years (72.41%). We have found tumor recurrence free rate of 80.29% and 71.36% at 1 and 5-yrs, respectively. Conclusion: MC has come to simplify the indication for LT in patients with HCC. The best patient survival rate at 1 and 5 years were in North America (88%) and Asia (76,6%), respectively. On the other hand, Europe had the best tumor recurrence free rate at 5 years (91.8%).


Introdução: O transplante de fígado (TF) continua sendo o melhor tratamento para pacientes, bem selecionados, portadores de carcinoma hepatocelular. Os critérios de Milão (CM) ( tumor único até 5 cm e 3 tumores não maiores que 3 cms) são os critérios mais usados para estes pacientes. Nosso objetivo é avaliar a situação atual dos CM principalmente a sobrevida do paciente e a taxa livre de recorrência tumoral após 1 a 5 anos do TF, nos últimos 10 anos. Material e Métodos: Revisamos 59 trabalhos entre200-2009; da Asia (42,3%), Europa (33,9%) e da América do Norte (20,4%). 5.525 pacientes submeteram-se ao TF com os CM. A sobrevida total dos pacientes e a taxa livre de recorrência tumoral foram analisados. Resultados: A taxa de sobrevida total dos pacientes foi em 1 ano de (87,26%), 2 anos (81,95%), 3 anos (77,47%), 4 anos (75,24%) e 5 anos (72,41%). A taxa livre de recorrência tumoral foi de 80,29% e 71,36% em 1 e 5 anos, respectivamente. Conclusão: A melhor taxa de sobrevida dos pacientes foi na América do Norte (88%) e na Asia (76,6%), respectivamente. Por outro lado, a Europa teve a melhor taxa livre de recorrência de doença em 5 anos (91,8%).

ABSTRACT

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Expanded donor criteria (marginal) grafts are an important solution for organ shortage. Nevertheless, they raise an ethical dilemma because they may increase the risk of transplant failure. This study compares the outcomes from marginal and non-marginal graft transplantation in 103 cases of liver transplantation due to chronic hepatic failure. DESIGN AND SETTING: One hundred and three consecutive liver transplantations to treat chronic liver disease performed in the Liver Transplantation Service of Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo between January 2001 and March 2006 were retrospectively analyzed. METHODS: We estimated graft quality according to a validated scoring system. We assessed the pre-transplantation liver disease category using the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD), as low MELD (< 20) or high MELD (> 20). The parameters for marginal and non-marginal graft comparison were the one-week, one-month and one-year recipient survival rates, serum liver enzyme peak, post-transplantation hospital stay and incidence of surgical complications and retransplantation. The significance level was 0.05. RESULTS: There were no differences between the groups regarding post-transplantation hospital stay, serum liver enzyme levels and surgical complications. In contrast, marginal grafts decreased overall recipient survival one month after transplantation. Furthermore, low-MELD recipients of non-marginal grafts showed better one-week and one-month survival than did high-MELD recipients of marginal livers. After the first month, patient survival was comparable in all groups up to one year. CONCLUSION: The use of marginal graft increases early mortality in liver transplantation, particularly among high-MELD recipients.


CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO: A utilização de doadores com critérios expandidos (enxertos marginais) é uma importante solução para a carência de órgãos para transplante. No entanto, isto suscita importante dilema ético porque esses órgãos podem aumentar a chance de insucesso do transplante. Este estudo compara os resultados do transplante de órgãos marginais e não-marginais em 103 pacientes portadores de doença hepática crônica. TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL: Cento e três transplantes consecutivos de fígado por doença hepática crônica realizados no Serviço de Transplante de Fígado do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo foram retrospectivamente analisados, compreendendo o período de janeiro de 2001 a março de 2006. MÉTODOS: A qualidade do enxerto foi calculada utilizando sistema de pontuação validado. A doença hepática do receptor também foi classificada em MELD (Model for End-Stage Liver Disease) baixo (< 20) e MELD alto (> 20). Os parâmetros avaliados na comparação entre receptores de órgãos marginais e não-marginais foram: sobrevida do paciente em uma semana, um mês e um ano, pico sérico das enzimas hepatocelulares, dias de internação pós-transplante e incidência de complicações cirúrgicas e retransplantes. O índice de significância foi de 0.05. RESULTADOS: Não houve diferença entre os grupos quanto ao tempo de internação pós-transplante, pico sérico das enzimas hepatocelulares e incidência de complicações cirúrgicas. Em contraste, a utilização de enxertos marginais diminuiu a sobrevida global de um mês. Os receptores de enxertos não-marginais com baixo MELD apresentaram melhor sobrevida em uma semana e um mês do que os receptores de enxertos marginais com alto MELD. Após o período de um mês, a taxa de sobrevida foi similar até um ano em todos os grupos. CONCLUSÃO: Em conclusão, o uso de enxerto marginal aumenta mortalidade precoce no transplante de fígado, principalmente nos receptores com alto MELD.

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes: El trasplante hepático es el tratamiento de elección para pacientes con enfermedad hepática terminal. La disponibilidad de órganos es el factor limitante para su empleo. El empleo de injertos provenientes de donantes vivos desde hace años se aplica a la población pediátrica y en los últimos años se ha generalizado su uso en receptores adultos. Objetivo: Analizar la experiencia con el empleo de esta técnica en nuestro programa de trasplante. Lugar de aplicación: Hospital Privado de la comunidad. Diseño: Estudio retrospectivo y descriptivo. Población: 458 pacientes a los que se le realizaron 492 trasplantes hepáticos ortotópicos (TOH). 79 (TOH) con donante vivo (50 niños y 29 adultos). Método: Se realizó la evaluación de los donantes con exámenes de laboratorio. Ecodoppler y tac abdominal, posteriormente arteriografía y biopsia hepática en caso de sospechar hepatopatía. Los niños fueron trasplantados con segmentos II y III (n = 45) o con monosegmento (n = 5). 28 adultos recibieron hígado derecho (LD) y uno hígado izquierdo (LI). Resultados: De 120 potenciales donantes pediátricos 60 fueron rechazados (50 por ciento). Presentaron complicaciones 6 de los 50 (12 por ciento). Se evaluaron 71 potenciales donantes para adultos, fueron rechazados 25 (35,2 por ciento). Cinco de los 29 (17,2 por ciento) donantes presentaron complicaciones. La indicación más frecuente fue la atresia de vías biliares en la población pediátrica (65,9 por ciento) y cirrosis por Virus C en los adultos (44 por ciento). Las complicaciones vasculares en la población pediátrica ocurrieron en 8 pacientes (16 por ciento) y las biliares en 14 (28 por ciento). La supervivencia actuarial de pacientes e injertos a 10 años fue de 94 por ciento y 90 por ciento respectivamente. Los adultos presentaron complicaciones vasculares en el 6,89 por ciento y biliares en el 37 por ciento. La supervivencia actuarial de pacientes e injertos fue de 89,8 por ciento y 89,3 por ciento al año y de 83,7 por...

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: describir las variantes anatómicas de la arteria hepática, resaltar su importancia en la cirugía digestiva y sugerir pautas para su reconocimiento tanto pre como intraoperatorio. Lugar de aplicación: dos hospitales públicos de alta complejidad. Diseño: longitudinal, retrospectivo, descriptivo. Población: 414 hígados para ser implantados en receptores de Trasplante Hepático, 374 fueron obtenidos de donante cadavéricos y 40 segmentados laterales izquierdo de donante vivo relacionado. Método: se disecaron y clasificaron de acuerdo a su disposición anatómica (según la clasificación propuesta por Michels y modificada por Hiatt) todas las arterias hepáticas de 374 hígados obtenidos de donante cadavérico y 40 de donante vivo relacionado. Resultados: encontramos un 70,7 por ciento de variantes tipo I (distribución normal), 10,6 por ciento tipo II (rama izquierda de la coronaria estomáquica), 7 por ciento tipo III (rama derecha de la Mesentérica superior), 4,8 por ciento tipo IV (triple arteria), 2 por ciento tipo V (hepática común de Mesentérica), 0,8 por ciento tipo VI (hepática común directa de aorta) y 4 por ciento otras variantes no clasificadas. Conclusión: las variantes anatómicas de la arteria hepática son más frecuentes de lo que uno puede esperar y rondan entre el 25 y 40 por ciento. Es importante su estudio preoperatorio y su reconocimiento intraquirúrgico para evitar lesiones de alguna de sus ramas que deriven en consecuencias graves e irreversibles tanto sobre la vía biliar como el hígado

ABSTRACT

Liver transplantation is an accepted therapy for acute and chronic liver failure. Advances in preoperative and postoperative management and surgical techniques have extended the indications and improved results. Most international centres report one year actual survival rates of between 58-90% and 5-8 years survival of 75-80%. These developments, however, have been limited largely to the West. While the need for liver transplantation is well recognised in the developing world, liver transplantation has only recently been performed successfully in India. This article examines the challenges of liver transplantation in the developing world.

ABSTRACT

In a state-funded, live related-donor kidney transplantation programme, 616 eligible end stage renal failure (ESRF) patients were seen over a four-year period. 73% of them had potential related donors, 64% of whom were willing to donate. Fear of surgery, non-congenial pre-morbid relationships and discouragement by family members were the most common reasons for unwillingness to donate. After investigations, 76% of the willing donors were found to be fit. ABO incompatibility, lymphocyte cross-match positivity and anatomic abnormalities were the most common grounds for non-acceptance. Sixty eight percent of the willing, fit donors finally donated their kidneys, patient-death and donor-recipient withdrawal before surgery accounting for the remaining. One hundred and forty eight patients underwent renal transplantation. Two-thirds of the donors were females, mothers (37%) forming the single largest group. Eight five percent of the recipients were males. Overall, only 35% of the eligible ESRF patients had related, willing and fit donors attesting to the need for an active, cadaver-donor transplantation programme.

ABSTRACT

El trasplante ortotópico hepático TOH, es el tratamiento de elección de enfermedades hepáticas graves en estadio terminal. En los últimos años la sobrevida del TOH se ha incrementado en forma notable y sus indicaciones se han extendido, lo que ha traído como consecuencia una mayor demanda de TOH, sin embargo, por falta de donación, alrededor de un 24 por ciento de pacientes en lista fallecen mientras esperan ser trasplantados. Uno de los aspectos más críticos en la restricción del número de órganos para trasplante es sin duda el límite de edad en el potencial donante de órganos, el que se estableció en 45 años. Para valorar el efecto de la edad de los donantes sobre la función del injerto, se analizan los resultados de 109 TOH en 96 pacientes, 55 hombres y 47 mujeres, edad media 45 ñ 10 años. De éstos 93(85 por ciento) recibieron un hígado de donante menor de 45 años; edad media 25 años, límites 5-45, y 16(15 por ciento) de donantes mayores de 45 años; edad media 55 años, límites 46-65. La función precoz del injerto fue clasificada en tres grupos de acuerdo a un baremo sumatorio de las cifras máximas de ALAT valor medio del débito biliar y menor valor de protrombina obtenida durante los primeros 3 días después del TOH, grado I= buena función, grado II= función regular, y grado III= mala función. De los pacientes que recibieron un injerto de donante menor de 45 años, 54(58 por ciento) pertenecieron al grado I, 21(23 por ciento) al grado II y 18(19 por ciento) al grado III. De los 16 pacientes trasplantados con donantes mayores de 45 años, el grado I de función precoz fue observado en 8(50 por ciento), el grado II en 5(31 por ciento) y el grado III en 3(19 por ciento) x²= 0,64, p= ns. No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la sobrevida a 30 meses para ambos grupos. Los resultados de este estudio sugieren que la edad por sí sola no constituye un criterio para el rechazo de órganos para trasplante
