Reconstruction of graft hepatic artery and portal vein with donor iliac vessel interposition in liver transplantation: one case report and review of the literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient with friable hepatic artery and poor hepatic arterial inflow, portal vein thrombosis and serious gastroesophageal varices underwent modified piggyback liver transplantation. The hepatic artery was reconstructed by interposing donor’s iliac arterial conduit anastomosed to the infrarenal aorta, while the portal vein flow was ensured by the interposition of donor’s iliac venous graft. The graft function and blood flow through the anastomosis remains excellent more than 8 years postoperatively. We consider the interposition of iliac vessels is a viable alternative for arterial and portal reconstruction in adult liver transplantation when direct arterial or portal anastomosis cannot be routinely performed.

BACKGROUND Technical problems such as graft and vascular size are more common in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) than in deceased donor liver transplantation. It is usually possible to get enough length of vessels on the graft, but the opposite situation is devastating. Finding the suitable vessel graft is life-saving in those situations. In this paper we present a case of gonodal vei...

Arguably, one of the most challenging aspects of liver transplant surgery is the hepatic artery reconstruction. When the donor and recipient arteries are normal, this anastomosis can still be difficult. However, when the recipient artery has been dissected or is small other alternative reconstructions must be considered. Routinely, the donor surgery includes removing the iliac artery and vein s...

INTRODUCTION We describe successful two-step hepatic artery reconstruction in a patient whose graft site hepatic artery was too short for the use of a microclamp in living donor liver transplantation. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 57-year-old woman was diagnosed as having hepatitis C and liver cirrhosis. Her 26-year-old son was the living liver donor. The living donor underwent right lobectomy. The ...
