What is Maximum Sharing of Cadaver Liver Grafts Composite Split and Domino Liver Transplants about?

S hortage of cadaver donors is a well-known problem for the long lists of patients awaiting organ transplants. The waiting lists for liver transplantion in the four units of Portugal are overcrowded. Besides the usual hepatic pathologies in Europe and America, Portugal has some hundreds of patients with familial amyloidotic polineuropathy (FAP) for whom the sole hope of stopping the progression of the disease is liver transplantation.
