In answer to your question I did some research and found that according to UNOS there have been NO LDLTs in FLA since 2012 (this includes Mayo) and for PHX MAYO they are continuing to perform them sporadically over the past few years. And finally, ROC MAYO did 15 in 2018 so they are still going strong.
I had my LDLT @ Mayo PHX back in 2013. My wife was the donor and the liver lasted over 5 years until Biliary complications arose and it necessitated a need for us to relocate to JAX where I, only a few weeks ago, received a cadaver liver.

@mnemeth318, I want to drop in for a short visit and say that I hope that you are experiencing a satisfactory recovery. I hope that you will have the energy to welcome the New Year!
Have you been released from the hospital?

@mnemeth318, Welcome to Connect. I want to express my congratulations on your recent liver transplant. You and your amazing wife have experienced an interesting liver health history together. I want to recognize her for the heroic action she participated in. It is an honor for me to be able to say this!
I hope that your recovery is coming along smoothly for you. Do you live near enough to the JAX Mayo that you can recover at home?
I wonder if you would share with me what kind of Biliary complications arose? I ask this because I transplanted due to PSC which affects the bile ducts. Did you have PSC?
