The lower limit of body weight for "splitable" liver grafts remains unknown. To examine the outcome of split-liver transplantation (SLT) from pediatric donors ≤25 kg relative to conventional graft-type liver transplantation from deceased donors under corresponding conditions, a total of 158 patients who received primary liver transplantation, including 22 SLTs from donors ≤25 kg, 46 SLTs from donors >25 kg, 76 whole-liver transplantations, and 14 reduced-liver transplantations in donors ≤25 kg between January 2018 and December 2019, were included in the study. There was no significant difference in the complications, patient survival, and graft survival between each of the latter three groups and the SLT ≤25 kg group. Pediatric End-Stage Liver Disease (PELD) score was the independent predictor of graft loss (death or retransplantation). Graft weight was the independent predictor of hepatic artery thrombosis. SLT using well-selected pediatric donors ≤25 kg is an effective strategy to increase organ availability, especially for low-body-weight recipients, compared with conventional graft type from deceased donors under the condition of corresponding donor weight without increasing morbidity and mortality.
