Summary

This study looks at a new way to do liver transplants for people with severe portal hypertension (high blood pressure in the liver). Instead of using a full-sized liver, doctors will use a smaller piece (small-for-size graft) in an auxiliary transplant. The goal is to see if this method is as safe and effective as the standard transplant. About 396 people over age 14 with decompensated portal hypertension will take part.
