Unlocking hope: domino liver transplantation for maple syrup syndrome, a single center experience work carried out at the King Fahad Specialist Hospital
The study highlights the importance of careful recipient selection, optimal graft-to-recipient weight ratio, and the potential for hybrid dual graft transplantation in cases where graft volume is insufficient. The findings suggest that DLT using MSUD livers is a viable option, particularly in regions with limited deceased donor activity, and should be considered in mature liver transplant programs to address organ shortages.
