Abstract:
No report has been available regarding organ transplantation for atomic bomb survivors, even with renal graft. We experienced a living-donor liver transplantation for two atomic bomb survivors using grafts from second-generation children. Post transplant course was uneventful without any systemic disorders under regular immunosuppression schema during 3-year follow-up. The detailed results are herein reported for the first time in the literature.
