title: Bridging hyperacute liver failure by ABO-incompatible auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation.
abstract: Uncontrollable intracranial pressure elevation in hyperacute liver failure often proves fatal if no suitable liver for transplantation is found in due time. Both ABO-compatible and auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation have been described to control such scenario. However, each method is associated with downsides in terms of immunobiology, organ availability and effects on the overall waiting list.
