Preoperative Portal Vein Embolization for Extended Hepatectomy
TLDR
Preoperative PVE is a safe and effective method of increasing the remnant liver volume in patients with estimated postresection volumes of less than 25% appears to reduce postoperative liver dysfunction.

The predictive value of donor liver biopsies for the development of primary nonfunction after orthotopic liver transplantation.
TLDR
It is suggested that donor liver biopsies demonstrating normal histology or minimal-to-moderate fatty infiltration function adequately, but that donor livers with severe fatty infiltration or hydropic degeneration function poorly and should not be transplanted.

Surgical Management of Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma
TLDR
Combined liver and bile-duct resection can be performed for hilar cholangiocarcinoma with acceptable mortality, though higher than that for liver resection performed for other indications, as well as the use of PVE in cases where hypertrophy of the remnant liver has not occurred preoperatively.

Are We Frozen in Time? Analysis of the Utilization and Efficacy of Pulsatile Perfusion in Renal Transplantation
TLDR
Reduced DGF and significantly lower discard rates of ECDs associated with PP suggest an important utility of PP in renal transplantation, and additional evidence of improvement in graft survival provides further encouraging evidence for the use of PP.

Pre-emptive eculizumab and plasmapheresis for renal transplant in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome.
TLDR
A protocol for the pre-emptive use of eculizumab and plasmapheresis as part of a renal transplant plan for the treatment of aHUS in patients deemed at high risk for recurrent disease is presented.

Hepatic Vein Reconstruction for Resection of Hepatic Tumors
TLDR
Liver resection with reconstruction of the hepatic veins can be performed in selected cases, and the increased risk associated with the procedure appears to be balanced by the possible benefits, particularly when the lack of alternative curative approaches is considered.

Combined Resection of the Liver and Inferior Vena Cava for Hepatic Malignancy
TLDR
The increased risk associated with the procedure appears to be balanced by the possible benefits, particularly when the lack of alternative curative approaches is considered, while an additional patient is alive with disease at 31 months.

The changing causes of graft loss and death after kidney transplantation
TLDR
The causes of graft loss and death have changed over the last three decades and better addressing the main causes of death, cardiac disease, and stroke with better prevention will help reduce graft loss due to death with a functioning graft.

Tobacco use before and after liver transplantation: A single center survey and implications for clinical practice and research
TLDR
Assessment of tobacco use and the provision of treatment for nicotine dependence should be a routine part of OLT candidacy evaluations and follow‐up, based on general medical risk factors and potential relevancy to patient and graft survival.
