Abstract
Successful OLTxp in infants is possible with improved posttransplant survival during the study period. Technical complications (hepatic artery thrombosis/portal vein thrombosis) may require retransplantation but were uncommon causes of patient loss. Multisystem organ failure was the most significant adverse complication. The consequences of immunosuppression (MSOF/PTLD) were the most common cause of patient loss. Further improvement in overall survival will require better immunosuppressive strategies.
