Abstract
In a nationally representative database, ischemic time and pre-transplant ECMO and/or ventilator requirement were associated with need for post-LTx ECMO. Need for post-transplant dialysis was associated with mortality in patients requiring post-LTx ECMO. These data may permit improved prediction of graft dysfunction. Strategies to minimize renal toxicity in the perioperative phase may lead to improved early survival post-LTx.
