Split liver transplantation in adults

Figure 5 Distributions of graft-to-recipient weight ratio in recipients who received hemiliver grafts at Cleveland Clinic. With ideal graft-recipient matching, the majority of recipients achieved a graft-to-recipient weight ratio (GRWR) > 1.0%. More importantly, hemiliver grafts with low GRWR were avoided in recipients with severe portal hypertension in order to prevent small-for-size related graft failure. A line within the box indicating the mean and the lower and higher boundaries of the box indicating the 25^th and 75^th percentile, respectively. Whiskers below and above the box indicate the 10^th and 90^th percentiles. From Hashimoto et al[10].
