Core Tip
Core tip: Auxiliary partial orthotopic living donor liver transplantation (APOLDLT) was performed on a female patient with preterm labor, severe viral hepatitis B of acute phase, hepatic encephalopathy and coma. The patient was treated with triple medication for immunosuppression, and combination of anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) immunoglobulin and Entecavir for anti-HBV therapy after operation. The patient has been living for more than 78 mo free of any complications. The APOLDLT is a life-saving modality for rescuing patients with high-risk acute liver failure following HBV infection without available donor.
