Should retransplantation still be considered for primary non-function after liver transplantation?

Primary non-function (PNF) of a transplanted liver is a postoperative condition characterized by absence of hepatic recovery due to various insults during harvesting, preservation or revascularization. Until recently early retransplantation (RTx) has been considered the policy of choice. Results of RTx for PNF are unsatisfactory (1-year survival rates ranging from 0 to 34%). The management of PNF by medical care without RTx with a recovery rate of 80% and a 1-year actuarial survival rate of 50% is reported for a series of 33 consecutive liver transplants. The guidelines for the medical care management are given and the results are discussed.

Lumbar chemical sympathectomy in end stage of arterial disease: early and late results.

Hemodynamic variables were used to evaluate the effectiveness of lumbar chemical sympathectomy in 20 patients with ischemic foot lesions. Early clinical improvement was obtained in 68% of the cases. The two-year cumulative limb salvage rate was 52%. Results indicate that lumbar chemical sympathectomy offers the same benefits as surgical sympathectomy and represents a useful alternative in patients with advanced ischemic disease of the lower limb, decreasing the rate and the level of amputations.
