Liver retransplantation in adult recipients: Analysis of a 38 ‐year experience in the Netherlands

ConclusionsRecipient age, era, DCD, and prolonged CIT were identified as parameters for retransplantation. The outcome after first re ‐LT was good, and comparable to those of primary transplants. Survival after multiple re‐LT wasn't significantly different from the first retransplant group, legitimizing third and fourth re‐LT to well‐selected patients.
