Abstract
The European Liver Transplant Registry (ELTR) currently allows for the
analysis of 44,286 liver transplantations (LTs) performed on 39,196 patients
in a 13-year period. After an exponential increase, the number of LTs is
plateauing due to a lack of organs. To cope with this, alternatives to
cadaveric LT, such as split LT, domino LT, or living-related LT (LRLT) are
being used increasingly. They now account for 11% of all procedures. One of
the most important findings in the evolution of LT is the considerable
improvement of results along time with, for the mean time, a one-year
survival of 83%, all indications confounded. The improvement is particularly
significant for cancers. This improvement is mainly represented by
hepatocellular carcinoma, with a gain of 17% for 5-year survival rate from
1990 to 2000. Increasingly, older donors are used to augment the donor pool
and older recipients are transplanted due to improved results and a better
selection of patients. More than two thirds of deaths and three quarters of
retransplantations occurred within the first year of transplantation.
Retransplantation is associated with much less optimal results than first
LT. One of the prominent features of recent years is the development of
LRLT. LRLT is now performed by almost half of the European centers. As with
split LT or domino LT, LRLT aims to provide more patients to be
transplanted. Special attention is paid to reducing the risk for the donor,
which is now estimated to be 0.5% mortality and 21% postoperative morbidity.
