During the first 18 months of liver transplantation program for adult patients we evaluated 98 potential candidates for this treatment. Forty five patients were refused for transplantation and 53 were accepted. Forty six out of these 53 cases were transplanted. Ten (22%) out of the 46 patients undergoing transplantation had chronic hepatic cholestasis, 31 (67%) chronic hepatic diseases of non biliary origin (3 patients had an associated hepatocarcinoma), and 5 patients (11%) suffered an acute hepatic failure. All transplanted patients with previous chronic hepatic diseases had clinical and biological signs of advanced hepatic failure. There were no operative deaths. During the follow-up period 6 transplanted patients (13%) died. The survival probability among the 46 operated patients was about 84% at 12 months after the transplant. This survival was theoretically higher than that expected to occur without transplantation. The survival probability among the 46 transplanted patients was significantly higher (p = 0.0001) than that recorded in 36 patients with comparable hepatic diseases who were evaluated during the same study period and who were not considered for transplantation due to several reasons. The survival probability at the first year in the later group of 36 patients was 20%.
