Poster Sessions: Late BreakingLiver graft with macrovesicular steatosis >60% is considered unsuitable for deceased
donor liver transplantation (DDLT) as previous study showed high risk for primary
nonfunction (PNF) and graft loss.We report our outcomes in using severely steatotic
grafts due to the shortage of deceased donors.
Method
We retrospectively analyzed patients’ outcomes after DDLT from 1991 to 2013.
Macrovesicular steatosis>60% at post perfusion biopsy was defi ned as severe
steatosis.Outcomes eg. postoperative complication/PNF and survival were compared
to patients who received a graft without severe steatosis. Data was retrieved from
a prospectively collected database.
Results
374 patients underwent DDLT and 20 patients received severely steatotic graft and
354 patients had graft with steatosis<60%.Median degree of steatosis in severe
steatosis group was85%(60-100%).Transplantation related characteristics were
