  • Title: Procurement of liver and pancreas allografts in donors with replaced/accessory right hepatic arteries.
    Author: Molmenti EP, Klein AS, Henry ML.
    Journal: Transplantation; 2004 Sep 15; 78(5):770-1. PubMed ID: 15371686.
    Abstract:
    Anatomic variants in the origin of the right hepatic artery have led to various approaches at the time of organ procurement for transplantation. Of special relevance is the presence of a replaced or accessory right hepatic artery arising independently from the superior mesenteric artery. On the basis of an estimated combined experience of almost 2,000 organ procurements and implantations, we propose a technique in which dissection is kept to a minimum, with the goal of preventing procurement-associated injuries.
