Brief Answer:
Unlikely for the surgery to go through
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
I am sorry to know about your brother. This is indeed a difficult scenario. I don't think the liver transplant is possible with this current blood pressure.
I know that even without the transplant he is not likely to improve. But without the BP rising a bit the transplant will be impossible. We just need to hope that somehow it improves a bit and sustains at that level.
Hope this helps. I will be available for further follow up.
Regards
