Results: There was 1 case of in-hospital mortality (2.3%) among the 43 cases. Overall 3-month and 1-year patient and graft survival rate was 97.7% and 92.1% during a mean period of 11.4 ± 0.4 (0.9∼28.9) months. There was no significant difference in the 3-month and 1-year patient and graft survival rates (95.0 vs. 100% and 90.0 vs. 92.9%, P=0.60) between groups. LIT-related complications occurred in 4 patients (20.0%). One case of antibody-mediated rejection occurred in group II. Both groups showed no difference in graft function at postoperative 3rd month. Conclusions: ABOi ALDLT without splenectomy and LIT resulted in promising outcomes. Therefore, LIT can be safely eliminated from the protocol.
