An RCT of ROTEM before procedures in cirrhosis
Key points
1. Congratulations to Dr Janko!

🌍 A new global milestone: 173,727 solid organ transplants were performed in 2024—the highest number ever recorded. Growth was driven by increased deceased donation, particularly donation after circulatory death. #Transplantation #TXPforAll tinyurl.com/bddw5snt
We are surveying international practice on combined kidney-intestinal transplantation in order to inform local guidelines here in Australia.
