ObjectiveTo summerize the experiences of using molecular adsorbent recycling system(MARS) in perioperative period of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). MethodsThe effects of MARS-artificial liver treatments in 19 cases were reviewed. ResultsThe levels of serum total bilirubin, BUN, Cr, urine acid and blood ammonia were greatly reduced by using MARS. Fifteen patients were bridged to transplantation, 1 patient was relieved in symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy after MARS treatment, died 2 weeks after leaving hospital, 1 patient died of severe gastrointestinal bleeding before transplantation. The survival rate is 89.5%.ConclusionMARS artificial liver now is a safe and effective assistant device. It can help to gain more chance of undergoing OLT for the patients.
