Triple Recipient Strategy Using Split, Domino, and Auxiliary Techniques

Overview

The investigators report a case of the simultaneous use of split liver transplantation (SLT), domino liver transplantation (DLT) and auxiliary liver transplantation (ALT) to achieve "one donor for three recipients".

The investigators report a case of the simultaneous use of split liver transplantation (SLT), domino liver transplantation (DLT) and auxiliary liver transplantation (ALT) to achieve "one donor for three recipients". Three recipients had hepatitis C cirrhosis, argininemia, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), respectively. The investigators performed SLT in the first two recipients (an adult and a child), with the donor liver coming from a female who died of severe head trauma. The right lobe of the child, as the "domino liver graft", was transplanted to the postoperative HCC patient, whose left lateral lobe was preserved after tumor resection. All recipients were discharged from the hospital. During the 12 months of follow-up, all three recipients remained alive.
