Categorical variables are expressed as frequencies (%) and percentages and continuous variables as median and interquartile range (IQR).

Comparison of the analysed variables have been made between UW, CS, and IGL-1, groups. For HTK, group only a descriptive analysis is displayed.

a

IGL-1, vs. UW

b

IGL-1, vs. CS

c

UW, vs. CS.

Include hemoperitoneum, intra-abdominal/subcutaneous hematoma.

*In 8 of the cases an immediate transplantectomy was required, not included in Clavien-Dindo classification.

**Venous and arterial thrombosis.

Anticoagulation protocol (enoxaparin + aspirin).

Conservative Anticoagulation (systemic heparin/acenocoumarol).

UW, indicates University of Wisconsin; CS, Celsior; HTK, Histidine-Tryptophan-Ketoglutarate; IGL-1, Institut Georges Lopez-1.
