In-depth Clinical, Haemodynamic and Volumetric Assessment of the RAPID-type Auxiliary Liver Transplantation in Non-cirrhotic Setting; are we Simply Dealing with a Transplant Model of ALPPS?

The Resection And Partial Liver Transplantation with Delayed total hepatectomy (RAPID) procedure involves left hepatectomy with orthotopic implantation of a left lobe and right portal vein ligation. This technique induces volumetric graft increase, allowing for a right completion hepatectomy within 15 days. Notably, there is a lack of data on the hemodynamics of small-for-size grafts exposed to portal overflow without triggering small-for-size syndrome.
