A Multicenter Japanese Survey Assessing the Long-term Outcomes of Liver Retransplantation Using Living Donor Grafts

Conclusions. In Japan, where>70% of retransplantations are performed using living donors, the indications and timing are different from those in previous reports from other countries, while maintaining comparable survival rates. Considering technical challenges, graft failure within 365 days should be thoroughly restricted to justify the use of living donor.
