Impact on the hepatic flow velocity after pediatric combined liver-kidney transplantation compared to isolated pediatric liver transplantation-A matched-pair analysis.

Frequent Doppler ultrasound examinations, accurate volume management, and avoidance of abdominal pressure might be an explanation for the results and an excellent graft- and patient survival.
