CONCLUSION

• The Field of Liver Transplantation In HCV Patients is moving dramatically with IFN-free regimen

• Some questions are open:– Treat before or after Transplantation?– Remove patients from the waiting list?– Which combination?– Duration of treatment ? Use of RBV?– How to avoid relapse? Risk of liver failure in case of relapse?

• The survival after transplantation for HCV infection will improve

Take Home Messages

Treat hepatitis C using DAA before or after LT? Both strategies are feasible with excellent efficacy results and good safety profiles

Regarding efficacy, better results are achieved after LT than before in decompensated cirrhotic patients

Regarding safety, drug-drug interactions and degree of hepatic impairment are still issues, and favor the use of NS5A inhibitors

Withdraw patients of waiting list is feasible and should concern about 30% of patients.
