Increasing Living Donor Liver Transplantation Using Liver Paired Exchange

Vikraman Gunabushanam et al.

Summary: This study reviewed the application of LPE in Asia and found that it is feasible in high-volume LDLT centers and can overcome ABO incompatibility to increase the number of LDLTs.

Living donor liver paired exchange: A North American first

Madhukar S. Patel et al.

Summary: Paired organ exchange, such as liver paired exchange, offers a solution for living donor-recipient ABO incompatibilities. The success of this method relies on careful planning and coordination of multiple simultaneous operations. By initiating a chain of donations, the donor pool can be expanded, benefiting incompatible living liver donor-recipient pairs.

Expanding living donor liver transplantation: Report of first US living donor liver transplant chain

Hillary J. Braun et al.

Summary: Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is more common in Asia than in North America, where living donor kidney transplantation, including paired exchanges for ABO-incompatible pairs, is prevalent. The first liver paired exchange (LPE) in the United States, completed over two consecutive days, was initiated by a non-directed donor and benefited an ABO-incompatible pair. This innovative approach demonstrates the feasibility of LPE in centers with experience in LDLT, offering new possibilities for transplantation in cases of ABO incompatibility.
