Abstract
PURPOSE Hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD) after liver transplantation (LT) is almost always a fatal complication. We assessed the outcomes of HVOD in a single institute and analyzed a literature-based cohort. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of recipients of LT performed between 1995 and 2020 at our institute and the literature on HVOD after LT. We then analyzed the clinical features based on a "pooled" cohort of cases identified in our institute and reported in the literature. RESULTS HVOD was diagnosed in 3 of 331 LT recipients, all of whom died in hospital, on days 164, 12, and 13, respectively. Our comprehensive review of the literature, as well as our cases, identified eight cases of HVOD that developed within 14 days after LT (early-onset type). Early-onset HVOD had a significantly worse prognosis than HVOD that developed beyond 2 weeks after LT (non-early-onset type), which was identified in 22 cases (25.0% vs. 86.1% of the 3-month graft survival rate). The most common causes of early-onset and non-early-onset types were acute cellular rejection (50%) and drug-induced disease (50%), respectively. CONCLUSION Early-onset HVOD developing within 14 days after LT has a poor prognosis.

Living Donor Liver Transplantation for Hepatic Venoocclusive Disease/Sinusoidal Obstruction Syndrome Originating from Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation. Case Rep Transplant 2022; 2022:8361769. [PMID: 35637901 PMCID: PMC9148242 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8361769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Venoocclusive disease (VOD), also known as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), is a life-threatening hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) complication. Cases of mild and moderate VOD/SOS are self-limiting; however, the mortality for severe VOD/SOS has reached 80%. Recently, defibrotide became available and has been used for VOD/SOS; however, the outcome for patients with severe VOD/SOS is not satisfactory, and liver transplantation is attempted in these severe cases. Method We describe a case of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for acute liver failure secondary to VOD/SOS that originates from HSCT. Result Liver regeneration after LDLT was impaired, and several infections were developed before liver regeneration completion. Our patient suffered sepsis and finally died of multiorgan failure. Conclusion Severe VOD/SOS originating from HSCT is associated with a very poor prognosis. The liver transplantation outcome for VOD/SOS has not been satisfied, but it may provide long-term survival if successful. We considered liver transplantation as a therapeutic option, especially in cases where sufficient graft volume is secured, considering impaired liver regeneration under bone marrow suppression after HSCT.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstructive syndrome, also known as venoocclusive disease, is a potentially life-threatening complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The conditioning regimens given before hematopoietic stem cell transplant result in the production of toxic metabolites that trigger the activation, damage, and inflammation of the endothelial cells that line the sinusoids. Although liver transplant has been performed for treatment of sinusoidal obstructive syndrome, reports by various liver transplant centers worldwide have been limited and disappointing. We report our experience of successfully treating a patient with sinusoidal obstructive syndrome with deceased donor liver transplant. A 34-year-old male patient was referred to our department due to refractory ascites and jaundice within 1 month after receiving peripheral blood stem cell transplant for acute lymphocytic leukemia. He was diagnosed with biopsy-proven sinusoidal obstructive syndrome. Despite therapy with defibrotide, his condition continued to deteriorate, which included development of intractable pleural effusion, ascites, and progressive renal failure. After undergoing deceased donor liver transplant, the patient's serum bilirubin levels and prothrombin time began to decrease. The histology of the excised liver was compatible with hepatic sinusoidal obstructive syndrome. After being treated for pneumonia, pulmonary edema, and cytomegalovirus viremia, the patient was discharged 2 months after transplant. At 18 months after liver transplant, although he was treated for fungal pneumonia and is being considered for kidney transplant due to unsuccessful weaning from renal replacement therapy, the patient has shown stable liver function and no signs of either graft-versus-host disease or a relapse of acute lymphocytic leukemia. In conclusion, although severe sinusoidal obstructive syndrome in the setting of stem cell transplant has a poor prognosis, we suggest that deceased donor liver transplant should be considered in the treatment of select patients with life-threatening liver dysfunction after hematopoietic stem cell transplant.

Abstract
Liver transplantation (LT) is currently considered the gold standard treatment for end-stage liver failure. Compared to the first decades of its use, LT is associated with lower comorbidity and mortality, with a 5-year survival over 70%. Worldwide, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma represent the major indications to LT. However, almost 1% of LT is performed for rare diseases or rare indications, which include non-hepatocellular malignancy, vascular disorders, metabolic and congenital liver disorders. These diseases can lead to hepatocellular necrosis, biliary tree abnormality and/or hepatomegaly. Most of these diseases are not associated with liver failure but in highly selected patients, LT represent an effective therapy improving the overall survival and quality of life. Rare indications for LT often overlap with rare diseases. However, rare LT indications for non-rare diseases are rising in the last decades, especially for benign primary liver tumor, colon rectal liver metastasis, neuroendocrine liver metastasis, and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Non-rare diseases with rare indication for LT and rare adult disease with an indication for LT are categorized and discussed in detail, focusing on some disorders for which the literature provides a more definitive evidence base. Early referral to a transplant center is encouraged to provide an effective therapeutic option in these non-standard indications for LT.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a life-threatening liver complication of high- dose chemotherapy. Defibrotide is the only available therapeutic option approved for SOS. The prognosis of SOS in patients requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission remains unknown. The primary objective of this study was to assess the outcome of SOS patients in ICU. This retrospective study was conducted between 2007 and 2019 in 13 French ICUs. Seventy-one critically ill adult patients with SOS defined according to European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation criteria and treated with defibrotide were included. The main reasons for ICU admission were respiratory failure and acute kidney injury. Mechanical ventilation, vasopressors, and renal replacement therapy were required in 59%, 52%, and 49% of patients, respectively. Twenty-three percent of patients experienced a bleeding event during defibrotide treatment. Hospital mortality was 54%, mainly related to multiorgan failure. Older age (hazard ratio [HR], 1.02; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00 to 1.04), mechanical ventilation (HR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.00 to 3.99), renal replacement therapy (HR, 2.55; 95% CI, 1.32 to 4.91) were independent predictors of hospital mortality. Defibrotide prophylaxis (HR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.13 to 0.92) was associated with better outcomes. Critically ill patients with SOS have a high mortality rate in the ICU, especially if organ support is required. Additional studies assessing the impact of defibrotide prophylaxis are warranted.

Solid organ transplantation following allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation: experience from a referral organ transplantation center and systematic review of literature. Bone Marrow Transplant 2018; 54:190-203.

Abstract
Solid organ transplantation (SOT) following haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a rare event. Uncertainty exists whether such recipients are at higher risk of relapse of underlying haematological disease or at increased risk of developing infectious or immunological complications and malignancies following SOT. The experience at our referral organ transplantation center and the present literature of SOT (n = 198) in recipients following previous HCT was systematically reviewed. Outcome analysis of 206 SOT recipients following HCT challenges the validity of the frequently stated comparable outcome with recipients without prior HCT. SOT recipients after HCT are younger and have a higher mortality and morbidity in comparison with "standard" recipients. Rejection rates for SOT recipients following HCT appear to be lower for all organs, except for liver transplantation. In the setting of liver transplantation following HCT, mortality for recipients of deceased donor grafts appears to be exceptionally high, although experience with grafts of living donors are favourable. Morbidity was mostly associated with infectious and malignant complications. Of note some SOT recipients who received solid organ donation from the same HCT donor were able to achieve successful withdrawal of immune suppression. Despite limited follow-up, recipients with prior HCT show a different course after SOT, necessitating attention and closer follow-up.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), previously known as veno-occlusive disease, is relatively rare subsequent to liver transplantation (LT). SOS refractory to medical therapy, however, can result in centrilobular fibrosis, portal hypertension and liver failure. Although sinusoidal endothelial cell damage around central venules (zone 3) occurs early in the development of SOS, the detailed mechanism of SOS development and its association with thrombocytopenia are not yet completely understood. The present report describes a patient who experienced SOS with unexplained thrombocytopenia following living donor LT. The progression of SOS resulted in graft dysfunction and the patient succumbed. The presence of platelets in the liver allograft was assayed immunohistochemically using antibody to the platelet marker cluster of differentiation 42b (platelet glycoprotein Ib). Platelet aggregates were found attached to hepatocytes along the sinusoid and within the cytoplasm of hepatocytes, particularly in zone 3. By contrast, no staining was observed in zone 1. These findings suggested that extravasated platelet aggregation in the space of Disse and the phagocytosis of platelets by hepatocytes were initiated by sinusoidal endothelial cell damage due to the toxicity of the immunosuppressant tacrolimus or a corticosteroid pulse, and that platelet activation and degranulation may be at least partially involved in the mechanism responsible for SOS.

Abstract
Backgroud The occurrence of Hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) is rale liver disease. However, severe VOD is often lethal and one of the most common causes of death following stem cell transplantation (SCT). Case Reports: Case 1 was a 30-year-old woman who was diagnosed as Budd-Chiari syndrome with liver failure. She was admitted to our department to undergo liver transplantation. Four days after admission, she underwent liver transplantation. Her liver explant showed VOD. Case 2 was a 74-year-old woman who was admitted to a community hospital for further examination. Her condition continued to deteriorate with liver failure, and she died 39 days after admission. Liver autopsy also showed VOD. Either of the patients had difficulty in diagnose as VOD. Neither of the patients had a history of SCT. Conclusions: VOD should be considered as a cause of acute hepatic failure, even if the patient has no history of SCT.

Abstract
To analyze the outcome of solid organ transplantation (SOT) in patients who had undergone allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), a questionnaire survey was carried out within 107 European Group of Blood and Marrow Transplantation centers. This study covered HSCT between 1984 and 2007 in Europe. Forty-five SOT in 40 patients were reported. Fifteen liver, 15 renal, 13 lung, 1 heart and 1 skin transplantations were performed in 28 centers. Overall survival (OS) of patients after SOT was 78% at 5 years (95% confidence interval [CI], 64% to 92%). OS at 5 years was 100% for renal, 71% (95% CI, 46% to 96%) for liver and 63% (95% CI, 23% to 100%) for lung transplant recipients. The 2-year-incidence of SOT failure was 20% (95% CI, 4% to 36%) in patients with graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and 7% (95% CI, 0% to 21%) in patients without GvHD before SOT. The relapse incidence for underlying malignant diseases was 4% at 5 years (95% CI, 0% to 12%). In summary, this study shows that selected patients receiving SOT after HSCT have a remarkably good overall and organ survival. These data indicate that SOT should be considered in selected patients with single organ failure after HSCT.
