Abstract
The use of marginal liver grafts has become an inevitable option because of the continuous increase in the number of patients awaiting liver transplantation and the severe shortage of suitable donors. Recently, several approaches have been adapted to expand the donor pool and improve the outcome of marginal grafts in both deceased and living donor liver transplantation. Accordingly, this review discusses the various types of marginal grafts in both deceased and living donor liver transplantation, their outcome and the up-to-date innovations or strategies to extend the donor pool and improve the patient and graft survival post-transplant.
