Reversal of intrapulmonary arteriovenous shunting detected by two-dimensional contrast-enhanced echocardiography after liver transplantation.

abstract：:To formulate a model predicting survival after liver retransplantation, we analyzed in detail the last 150 cases of hepatic retransplantation at UCLA. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis identified five variables that demonstrated independent simultaneous prognostic value in estimating patient survival after ...
