Influence of Cold Ischemia Time and Graft Transport Distance on Postoperative Outcome in Human Liver Transplantation

Abstract: Since prolonged CIT is a major risk factor, avoiding long-distance graft transportation is recommended when the donor risk factors are high.

“…10 During liver transplant, the graft may develop an ischemia-reperfusion injury that may cause graft loss or primary failure to function. 11,12 In addition, recipients may have a hypocoagulable state after liver transplant. Early postoperative thrombocytopenia is common after liver transplant because of platelet activation and consumption after graft reperfusion.…”

“…22 On the other hand, it was previously shown that extending graft transport distance may cause prolongation of cold ischemia time and may decrease graft survival rate. 23 Most of our patients were transported to 3 destinations (the United States, Belgium, and Colombia). The acceptance of foreign nationals to local waiting lists is covered by law both in the United States and Europe.…”

“…Thus, local hepatologists and surgeons are frequently faced with almost impossible situations where despite the availability of three transplant centers, it is often impossible to save the life of a patient with fulminant liver disease or primary graft failure. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] Our practice to send patients who require emergency liver transplantation abroad has been criticized in Israel. Those who oppose it claim that the availability of organs abroad, although very limited, undermines the ability to convince a patient's family members to agree to LRLT and suggest that the health authorities should discontinue reimbursement for LTX.…”

“…O intervalo de tempo de isquemia fria parece ser bom preditor do funcionamento primário ou não do enxerto e de sua sobrevida (Totsuka et al, 2002;Pedotti et al, 2004). Estudo de meta-análise realizado por Stahl et al…”
