Summary:A better knowledge of HPS patient outcomes after LT could influence graft allocation, since there is currently a tendency to attribute better grafts to patients experiencing higher morbidity. [...]the objective of our study was to compare the post-operative outcome in patients with and without HPS following LT, in terms of complications, ventilation parameters, lengths of stay and mortality. Patients were monitored for the first five post-operative days with daily transthoracic echocardiography, pulmonary ultrasound and hepatic Doppler Primary and Secondary Outcomes HPS was defined as an association of cirrhosis, hypoxemia with a p 0
