DOMINO LIVER-TRANSPLANTATION COMBINED WITH MULTIVISCERAL TRANSPLANTATION

Transplantation of the liver contemporaneously with another organ from the same donor is thought to confer an immunologic advantage.(1,2) Th e latter is particularly desirable in intestinal transplantation becau se of the propensity of the intestinal graft to early and late rejecti ons and because in some cases it may facilitate the operation. In clin ical practice, shortage of liver grafts constrains liver transplantati on to cases in which there is coexisting end stage liver disease.
