Center Experience Is Associated With Improved Survival in Liver Transplantation for Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma: A Retrospective Study
These data suggest that experienced centers have improved posttransplant survival. Variations in selection and postoperative care not captured by this study may underlie this association. More granular studies are warranted to elucidate the impact of center experience on outcomes in transplantation for cholangiocarcinoma.
