“…Transplanted organs have even been reused. [3][4][5] Nevertheless, there has been a progressively widening gap between the number of patients waiting for transplants and the number of transplantations performed. The number of patients on the national waiting list was 25 percent higher than the number of transplantations in 1988 and was more than 50 percent higher by 1994.…”

“…In contrast to the Moreno et al case [5], our liver graft was transferred from one hospital to another. The transplantation followed two prolonged CITs of 12 and 10 h. Despite the tragic outcome of the first recipient (death due to intracerebral bleeding), the possibility of reusing a liver graft was demonstrated.…”

We report on the successful regrafting of a transplanted liver. The donor liver was first grafted into a patient suffering from cryptogenic cirrhosis; the patient died 1 day after the elective transplantation of cerebral bleeding. The well-functioning graft was harvested again and transferred to our institution. After another 12 h of cold ischemia, the liver was reperfused in an urgently registered patient with recurrence of hepatitis B in his first graft. The transplantation was successfully performed and the patient is now doing well, more than 5 months after regrafting with the reused liver.

“…Brain death in fulminant hepatic failure is a possible but rare complication after successful orthotopic liver transplantation [1–4]. Previous liver transplant recipients may experience brain death and become organ donors [3, 5]. If liver graft continues to function normally, and there is not any other contraindication, the reuse of liver for another patient may be considered [2, 3].…”

We report the reuse of a liver graft after brain death of the first recipient. The liver donor was an 8-year-old male who died as a result of head injury. The graft was implanted first to a 4-year-old girl for fulminant hepatic failure. Unfortunately she developed progressive coma and brain death on fifth day of transplantation. The graft functions were normal, and reuse of the liver graft was planned. After informed consent, the graft was transplanted to a 31-year-old female recipient who has hepatocellular carcinoma with an underlying cryptogenic liver cirrhosis. The patient was discharged to home on 9th day after an uneventful postoperative period. However, she was readmitted to hospital with an acute abdominal pain 30 days after the operation. Hepatic artery thrombosis was diagnosed, and the attempt to open the artery by interventional radiology was unsuccessful. She died of sepsis and multiorgan failure on 37th posttransplant day.
