Abstract:
Overall, the liver transplant experience at UCSF has been a highly successful one. The program has made major contributions to the advancement of liver transplantation as a field. The UCSF has pushed the envelope in, at times, including recipients that were thought to have absolute contraindications for liver transplantation. The program is a tribute to the many physicians, surgeons and ancillary personnel, as well as those that preceded them, and participated in their training that these past 20 years has been as rewarding and as productive as they have been.
