Report of the 24th Annual Congress of the International Liver Transplantation Society

The 24th Joint Annual Congress of the International Liver Transplantation Society (ILTS) in association with European Liver and Intestine Transplant Association (ELITA) and Liver Intensive Care Group of Europe (LICAGE) was held in Lisbon, Portugal from May 23-26, 2018. More than 1200 participants from over 60 countries including surgeons, hepatologists, anesthesiologists and critical care intensivists, radiologists, pathologists, organ procurement personnel and research scientists, came together with the common aim of improving care and outcomes for liver transplant recipients. Over 600 scientific abstracts were presented. The principal themes were living donation, use of marginal liver donors, machine preservation, disease-specific immunosuppressive regimen, malignancies, and advances in pediatric liver transplantation and liver transplant anaesthesia. This report presents excerpts from invited lectures, and select abstracts from scientific sessions, which add to current knowledge, and will drive clinical practice and future research. * Eleonora De Martin and Amelia Hessheimer are co-first authors Corresponding Author and Reprint Requests: Prashant Bhangui, Medanta Institute of Liver Transplantation and Regenerative Medicine, Medanta-The Medicity, Sector 38, Gurugram, Delhi NCR, India.
