  • Radiology

Background:

  • Liver transplantation is a standard treatment for acute and chronic liver failure.
  • Recent advancements have broadened transplant indications and improved patient selection, especially for fulminant hepatic failure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advances in liver transplantation, including surgical techniques, preoperative assessment, and postoperative management.
  • To discuss the impact of these advances on patient selection, outcomes, and the organ donor shortage.

Main Methods:

  • Review of radiologic techniques (MRI, TIPS) for preoperative assessment.
  • Discussion of surgical innovations like split liver and living-related transplantation.
  • Analysis of microsurgical techniques and radiologic management of vascular complications.
