To compare short and long-term results of pediatric liver transplantation (LT), utilizing segmental grafts from living donors (LD) vs. cadaveric (CAD) reduced size or split grafts.
A retrospective analysis of a single center experience (1993-2000), comparing the surgical outcome, the graft function and the survival rates between these groups.
Of 195 LTs in pediatric recipients (age < 18), 48 (25%) were with LD grafts and 47 (24%) with CAD grafts (reduced size, n = 27, or split, n = 20). The mean age and weight of the LD recipients were 1.8 +/- 3 yrs and 9.0 +/- 8.1 kg vs. 3.5 +/- 4 yrs. and 15.2 +/- 14.5 kg in the CAD group. The distribution of etiologies was comparable (EHBA, 54% vs. 49%; inborn errors in metabolism, 12.5% vs. 12%; acute idiopathic hepatic failure, 12.5% vs. 14.2%). The severity of pretransplant disease and the fraction of acute hepatic failure cases were also comparable, although less LD grafts were used for urgent re-transplantation due to primary non-function or vascular complications (1 case in the LD group vs. 6 in the CAD group). The median warm ischemia time was similar (43 min; range, 28-87 min vs. 45 min; range 12-82 min), but the median cold ischemia time was significantly different (60 min; range 43-298 in LD vs. 637 min; range, 342-1102 in CAD grafts). Both patient and graft survival in 3 months, 1 and 5 years were significantly superior in the LD group (patient survival, 97%, 91% and 89% vs. 82%, 70% and 62%, p < 0.001; graft survival, 92%, 89% and 77% vs. 66%, 59% and 52%, p < 0.005). The incidence of vascular complications (hepatic artery or portal vein thrombosis) and biliary complications (leak of stricture) was comparable (vascular, 10% vs. 7%, biliary, 16% vs. 9%). The incidence of poor early graft function (6% vs. 21%) and primary non-function (2% vs. 18%) was significantly lower in the LD group.
Although presenting similar surgical complexity, the outcome of segmental grafts from LD is better than of reduced size or split cadaveric grafts.
比较利用活体供体(LD)的节段性移植物与尸体供体(CAD)的缩小体积或劈裂移植物进行小儿肝移植(LT)的短期和长期结果。
对单一中心(1993 - 2000年)的经验进行回顾性分析,比较这些组之间的手术结果、移植物功能和生存率。
在195例小儿肝移植受者(年龄<18岁)中,48例(25%)接受LD移植物,47例(24%)接受CAD移植物(缩小体积,n = 27,或劈裂,n = 20)。LD受者的平均年龄和体重分别为1.8±3岁和9.0±8.1 kg,而CAD组为3.5±4岁和15.2±14.5 kg。病因分布具有可比性(肝外胆管闭锁,54%对49%;代谢性先天性疾病,12.5%对12%;急性特发性肝衰竭,12.5%对14.2%)。移植前疾病的严重程度和急性肝衰竭病例的比例也具有可比性,尽管由于原发性无功能或血管并发症,用于紧急再次移植的LD移植物较少(LD组1例,CAD组6例)。中位热缺血时间相似(43分钟;范围28 - 87分钟对45分钟;范围12 - 82分钟),但中位冷缺血时间有显著差异(LD组为60分钟;范围43 - 298分钟,CAD移植物为637分钟;范围342 - 1102分钟)。LD组在3个月、1年和5年时的患者和移植物生存率均显著更高(患者生存率,97%、91%和89%对82%、70%和62%,p<0.001;移植物生存率,92%、89%和77%对66%、59%和52%,p<0.005)。血管并发症(肝动脉或门静脉血栓形成)和胆道并发症(渗漏或狭窄)的发生率具有可比性(血管,10%对7%,胆道,16%对9%)。LD组早期移植物功能不良(6%对21%)和原发性无功能(2%对18%)的发生率显著更低。
尽管手术复杂性相似,但LD节段性移植物的结果优于缩小体积或劈裂的尸体供体移植物。
