[Liver transplantation in a case of angiosarcoma and thorotrast fibrosis (author's transl)].
After a short survey of the development of liver transplantation on the basis of three liver transplants performed in this department, a case of angiosarcoma due to thorotrast fibrosis is reported. The problems cocerning surgical technique have been overcome at this time. However the questions concerning immunology, procurement of organs and organ preservation are predominant. Critically observed, liver transplantation has not yet emerged from the stage of clinical experimentation today.
