Abstract

In western countries, the timing of liver retransplantation depends on recipient prioritization on the wait-list, as determined by their model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, and the availability of an appropriate deceased donor graft. Unfortunately, the MELD score in these patients often does not reflect their medical condition accurately, resulting in an increased risk of wait-list mortality1 . Living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) offers the potential of timely retransplantation with a high quality graft.
