The main goal of 2-stage liver transplant is to
provide time to obtain a new liver source. We
describe our experience of 3 patients with 3
different clinical conditions. A 57-year-old man was
retransplanted successfully with this technique due
to hepatic artery thrombosis. However, a 38-yearold
woman with fulminant toxic hepatitis and a
5-year-old-boy with abdominal trauma had poor
outcome. This technique could serve as a rescue
therapy for liver transplant patients who have toxic
liver syndrome or abdominal trauma. These
patients required intensive support during long
anhepatic states. The transplant team should decide
early whether to use this technique before
irreversible conditions develop.
