Description
Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) of the pediatric patient is often limited by the availability of a size-matched donor organ. Use of reduced liver transplantation (RLT) can increase the proportion of candidates transplanted and may reduce overall mortality. We report herein the initial clinical application of RLT in the United States.
