Living Donor Liver Transplantation for Symptomatic Liver Involvement in Infant With Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia
This is the first report demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of LT in pediatric HHT patients with severe cardiac complications, including right-to-left shunting. The case highlights the natural history of HHT in childhood and provides guidance on optimal treatment strategies, particularly a decision to perform LT first while leaving right-to-left shunting and operative procedures to prevent perioperative complications.
