| Twenty years of liver transplantation at Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc in Brussels, Belgium. |
|
The first liver transplantation in Belgium, and there- by one of the first in Europe, was performed in Leuven by the team of Professor Kestens on June 18, 1969. The liver transplantation program of the Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc in Brussels actually started on February 5th 1984 when a young man with end-stage liver failure due to hepatitis B viral infection was trans- planted successfully. Several more patients, transplanted during the same year, are still alive and well twenty years later, with a good functioning graft. |
