INTRODUCTION: Split liver transplantation is a procedure performed throughout Europe. In 2018 in Catalonia, the distribution of donors was redefined, being potential candidates for SPLIT all those under 35-years and it was made flexible the adult selection for the right graft. The study aim is to evaluate the effect of this modifications on the use of Split donors on the adult/pediatric waiting lists, as well as to evaluate the post-transplant results of adults who received a Split donor...

INTRODUCTION: Kidney injury associated with paediatric liver transplantation (LT) is common, but its evaluation is challenging. Our aim was to analyse the presence of perioperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and study the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) using different glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation formulas. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study in a cohort of children aged less than 18 years with a history of LT followed up for 5...

BACKGROUND: Intestinal perforation (IP) after pediatric liver transplant (PLT) is an uncommon complication with high mortality reported. The aim of this study is to identify the risk factors and management of this complication. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective study of IP after PLT from January 2014 to October 2020. RESULTS: Four intestinal perforations were indentificated in 102 PLT (3,9%). Three patients with BA and one neonate with hemochromatosis (HC) presented this complication...

Hemochromatosis is a disease characterized by excess iron stores in multiple organs, including the liver, pancreas, skin, and heart. The infiltration of the heart is an important factor in morbidity and mortality. Here we describe the case of a pediatric patient with end-stage heart failure who required a heart transplantation, with no complications. After the surgery, she showed biochemical and clinical improvement, with a positive impact on her quality of life and a prolonged survival.

Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) is a rare vascular tumor of less malignancy than hemangiosarcoma. In the rare unilobar cases, partial hepatectomy may be indicated with risk of aggressive recurrence; in extensive liver disease, even with extrahepatic involvement, liver transplantation has been performed successfully. Metastases are more common in the lung, peritoneum, lymph nodes, spleen, and nervous system. We present the case of an asymptomatic adolescent with HEHE with lung metastases and abdominal lymph node involvement who received a liver transplant with a favorable outcome...

INTRODUCTION: Laparoscopic graft removal for pediatric living donor liver transplantation (PLDLT) reduces morbidity and surgical aggressiveness for the donor. It is important to assess whether the approach used for removal purposes compromises implantation. The objective of this study was to analyze PLDLT progression in children according to whether the graft had been removed laparoscopically or through open surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective, analytical cohort study of PLDLTs carried out in our institution from 2009 to 2020 was carried out...

INTRODUCTION: Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) was designed to treat complications of portal hypertension (PH). The objective of this study was to analyze the results of the TIPS performed in pediatric patients in our institution as a previous step to liver transplantation (LT). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective, descriptive study of pediatric patients with liver cirrhosis undergoing TIPS prior to LT from 2015 to 2020 was carried out. RESULTS: TIPS was performed in 10 patients...

Portopulmonary hypertension is an uncommon complication of portal hypertension, running a progressive course with a negative prognosis. Reports in pediatric patients are scarce with short follow up. We describe the case of decompensated cirrhosis who developed PoPH and resolved with liver transplantation, remaining asymptomatic after ten years of follow up.

BACKGROUND: Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is an immunomodulatory therapy used to treat graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) in adults and children. Few studies have examined its use in children. OBJECTIVE: To describe demographic characteristics, clinical response, adverse effects, and outcomes in a series of pediatric patients with acute or chronic GVHD treated with ECP. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We included all pediatric patients with acute or chronic GVHD treated with ECP by the dermatology department of Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires between January 2012 and December 2018...

INTRODUCTION: Non-resectable liver tumors are one of the most frequent indications of pediatric liver transplantation. However, the usefulness of interventional techniques is still to be exploited. This is the case of a patient with a non-resectable liver sarcoma proposed for liver transplantation, which could be avoided as the tumor was fully resected following selective portal embolization combined with chemotherapy treatment. CLINICAL CASE: The patient was a 10-year-old female with a large hepatic mass compatible with undifferentiated PRETEXT III sarcoma treated according to the EpSSG RMS2005 protocol for high-risk tumors, but without achieving any reduction in volume...

BACKGROUND: The Chilean allocation system for liver transplantation (LT) uses the MELD/PELD score to prioritize candidates on the waiting list. AIM: To assess if the Chilean allocation system for LT is equitable for pediatric candidates compared to their adult counterparts.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and hepatoblastoma (HB) are the most common primary tumors of liver in children. The management of patients with locally advanced, unresectable disease or those with extra-hepatic distant metastases provides substantial challenges to pediatric oncologists, hepatologists, and surgeons. Herein, we critically debate the two sides of three specific controversies: (1) the role of chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced pediatric HCC; (2) the indications for liver transplantation in children with HCC, specifically, the appropriateness of using adult Milan criteria; and (3) the role of liver trasplantation in children with unresectable HB that present with metastatic disease...
