Liver transplant (LT) waitlist mortality occurs in 10% of children; innovative strategies to expand access to LT can be lifesaving.
Outcomes of ABO incompatible (ABOi) LT performed between 1999 and 2023 at a high-volume center were compared to ABO compatible (ABOc) LT.
25 ABOi LT were performed among 270 LT; 72% were listed with status 1/1A/1B or a median pediatric end-stage liver disease/model for end-stage liver disease of 40 (IQR 32,41). Time on the waitlist for ABOi recipients was shorter (median 11 days [IQR 4,46]) compared to ABOc (113 days [IQR 39,252], p < 0.001). ABOi graft types were 64% technical variants (including 2 living donor grafts) and 36% whole; 52% received a duct-duct biliary anastomosis. There were no statistically significant differences in 1/5/10-year patient survival [ABOi: 87,87,87% vs. ABOc: 96,94,89%, p = 0.6] or graft survival [ABOi: 87,82,82% vs. ABOc: 92,86,80%, p = 0.9]. When compared to ABOc, there were no statistically significant differences in vascular complications, bile leaks, or acute T-cell-mediated rejection with ABOi LT. Biliary strictures were diagnosed in 43% of ABOi LT and more frequently than in ABOc (20%, p = 0.0495).
ABOi LT can offer children on the waitlist a survival advantage through shorter waiting time. ABOi LT can be performed safely with a low rate of vascular complications similar to ABOc LT.
10%的儿童在肝移植(LT)等待名单上死亡;扩大肝移植可及性的创新策略可能挽救生命。
将1999年至2023年在一个高容量中心进行的ABO血型不相容(ABOi)肝移植结果与ABO血型相容(ABOc)肝移植进行比较。
在270例肝移植中进行了25例ABOi肝移植;72%的患者被列为1/1A/1B状态,或小儿终末期肝病/终末期肝病模型中位数为40(四分位间距32,41)。与ABOc肝移植受者相比,ABOi肝移植受者在等待名单上的时间更短(中位数11天[四分位间距4,46]),而ABOc肝移植受者为113天[四分位间距39,252],p<0.001)。ABOi肝移植的移植物类型中64%为技术变异型(包括2例活体供肝移植物),36%为全肝;其中52%接受了胆管-胆管吻合术。在1/5/10年患者生存率[ABOi:87%、87%、87% vs. ABOc:96%、94%、89%,p = 0.6]或移植物生存率[ABOi:87%、82%、82% vs. ABOc:92%、86%、80%,p = 0.9]方面无统计学显著差异。与ABOc肝移植相比,ABOi肝移植在血管并发症、胆漏或急性T细胞介导的排斥反应方面无统计学显著差异。43%的ABOi肝移植被诊断出胆管狭窄,且比ABOc肝移植更频繁(20%,p = 0.0495)。
ABOi肝移植可通过缩短等待时间为等待名单上的儿童提供生存优势。ABOi肝移植可以安全进行,血管并发症发生率低,与ABOc肝移植相似。
