[Orthotopic liver transplantation in clinical materials].
The authors present their own experience in orthotopic liver transplantation as a treatment of acute and chronic liver failure. 18 transplantations were performed in 16 patients. The indications for transplantation: acute liver failure-3 cases, chronic advanced disease of the liver-13 cases, graft failure requiring retransplantation-2 cases. All 3 patients with acute failure died after transplantation. Out of 13 patients after elective transplantations 11 remain alive, (in this number both retransplanted). The longest follow-up period is 2.5 years.
