Predicting the available space for liver transplantation in cirrhotic patients: a computed tomography-based volumetric study

ConclusionsAdditional anthropometric characteristics (right anteroposterior diameter, body mass index) clinical (number of portosystemic shunts), and biological (MELD, albumin) factors might influence the overall volume available for liver graft implantation. Knowledge of these factors might be helpful during the donor –recipient matching.
