  • Title: Five right hepatic vein reconstructions using the autologous saphenous vein in the right lobe living-donor liver transplant: a case report.

    Journal: Exp Clin Transplant; 2014 Apr; 12(2):159-61. PubMed ID: 24702148.
    Abstract:
    In living-donor liver transplant, hepatic venous anomalies are not rare. Despite numerous techniques developed over the years, the best way of establishing a patent and durable hepatic drainage system remains controversial. We present a case where we successfully reconstructed 5 hepatic venous structures with a combination of direct anastomosis and saphenous vein interposition. Careful planning before surgery, and a customized approach for the patient on the back table, brought about successful results.
