Combination of these two classifications results in 6 types of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT)-associated retransplantation.

متن کاملDesigning a Prognostic Scoring System for Predicting the Outcomes of Proximal Fifth Metatarsal Fractures at 20 Weeks
Background: Fractures of the proximal fifth metatarsal bone are among the most common fractures observed in the foot and their classification and management has been subject to much discussion and disagreement. In this study, we aim to identify and quantify the effect of possible predictors of the outcome of the treatment of proximal fifth metatarsal fractures.Methods: Patients with established...
متن کاملEarly and late outcomes after cardiac retransplantation.
BACKGROUND Cardiac retransplantation remains the most viable option for patients with allograft heart failure; however, careful patient selection is paramount considering limited allograft resources. We analyzed clinical outcomes following retransplantation in an academic, tertiary care institution. METHODS Between 1981 and 2011, 593 heart transplantations, including 22 retransplantations wer...
