Stapled Anastomosis for Side-to-Side Cavo-Cavostomy in Orthotopic Liver Transplantation

In liver transplantation, a side-to-side anastomosis is one of the commonly performed techniques inferior vena cava reconstruction. The authors report case an application endoscopic vascular linear stapler for caval during deceased-donor transplantation. back table procedure was in standard fashion anastomosis. introduced temporary clamping recipient’s and created without problems. Suturing resulting defect completed use resulted shortening time. staple line after reperfusion graft completely sealed. patient’s postoperative course uncomplicated post-operative ultrasound computed tomography confirmed patency This demonstrates novel approach to reconstruction transplantation that enables implantation time may improve quality anastomoses.
