The problem Kroeker has with these results: the lack of literature to support the surgeons' decision. As a result of her findings, which will be published in the November issue ofLiver International,Kroeker says physicians need to determine eligibility criteria for liver-transplant patients that per...
Unfamiliarity with the underlying anatomy and pathophysiology, a higher peri-operative transplant mortality and the absence of specific transplant indication criteria put our patients at a disadvantage, making them less attractive candidates for transplant listing. The development of an advanced ACHD-HF ...
