Fig. 2 Chronology of donor-recipient matching in liver transplantation. As observed, prior to 1995, D-R matching was unclear. In the last 15–20years, several changes have led to a change in the mentality of liver transplant teams, leading to more complex methods of allocation in order to obtain the best survival and the lowest rate of deaths on waiting list.
