Abstract
There are more than 15,000 patients waiting for a liver transplant in the USA, with an average waiting time of 468 days and a mortality rate as high as 15-20%. Until artificial organs or xenotransplantation becomes a reality, living donor liver transplantation remains the best option for patients with end stage liver disease.Entities:
