Optimizing the use of donated cadaver livers: analysis and policy development to increase the application of split-liver transplantation.

The American Society of Transplant Surgeons and the American Society of Transplantation jointly sponsored a conference in Crystal City, Virginia, on March 28th and 29th, 2001, to explore mechanisms for maximizing the cadaver-organ donor pool. Participants from transplantation medicine, surgery, organ procurement organizations, the general public, and government convened to address expanding utilization of each organ type. The committee assigned to review liver organ utilization identified multiple practices that could expand the potential donor pool including non-heart beating donors, marginal grafts, efficient allocation of cadaver organs, and wider application of split-liver transplantation. This article details the data reviewed by the liver committee and their recommendations on policy development for the expanded application of split-liver transplantation.
