“This book provides an excellent and concise overview of current concepts in the perioperative care for liver transplant candidates. It is definitively not just useful for physicians in specialized transplant centers, but also for intensivists in peripheral hospitals dealing with the initial care and optimal conditioning before referral to a transplant center.” (Peter Markus Spieth, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 130 (5), May, 2020)
“This is a worthy contribution to a growing field. … its various manifestations provide valuable insights to the team caring for liver patients whether or not they ultimately come to transplant. The outstanding reference lists in the chapters provide an excellent literature review.” (David J. Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, July 05, 2019)
