Abstract：
PURPOSE:The aim of this study was to analyze the outcomes of children added to the waiting list for deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) and the results of DDLT in a single Japanese center. METHODS:Forty-seven children were listed on the organ allocation system for DDLT. The priority points related to the medical status of each patient were evaluated and stratified into four categories; 10, 8, 6, and 3 points. The clinical data were collected from the medical records, and the outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS:There were 10 priority points in 25 patients, 6 points in 13 and 3 points in 9. Ten recipients (21.3 %); 7 patients with 10 points and 3 patients with 6 points, underwent DDLT. Seven out of the 10 recipients received split/reduced liver grafts. The surgical complications consisted of biliary stricture, hepatic venous outflow obstruction, intraabdominal abscess and intraabdominal bleeding. Two recipients, who were critically-ill before DDLT, died due to sepsis. The one-year graft survival rate was 70.0 %, with a median follow-up period of 6.4 months. CONCLUSION:The initial experience with pediatric DDLT in our series was satisfactory. Split LT of deceased donor organs may have the potential to resolve the serious organ shortage in Japan.
