title: Using ABO-incompatible blood in massive transfusion in orthotopic liver transplantation.
abstract: With massive plasma exchange, transfusion with major ABO-incompatible blood was possible. Herein we reported the experience of two cases of liver transplantation without serious adverse effects. However, further refinement of the procedure is warranted before it can be used as routine treatment.
