Long-term outcome of controlled, non-heart-beating donor liver transplantation.

abstract：:The study purpose was to identify risks, benefits and costs associated with an expanded donor protocol. The protocol design evaluated organs rescued using expanded donor criteria and weighed all costs associated with doing so. Costs were measured against conditions experienced with expanded and traditional criteria an...
