Abstract EN
Domino liver transplant has emerged as a viable strategy to increase the number of grafts available for transplantation.
In the domino transplant organs explanted from one patient are transplanted into another patient.
The first successful domino liver transplant was performed in Portugal in 1995.
Since then this innovative concept has been applied to several genetic or biochemical disorders that are treated by liver transplantation.
An important consideration during this operation is that such livers can pose a risk of the de novo development of the disease in the recipient.
That is why this surgical procedure requires careful planning, proper selection of the patients, and informed consent of both donor and recipient.
