    Author: Aktas S, Sevmis S, Ozgur S, Erol C, Karakayali H.
    Journal: Transplant Proc; 2015 Dec; 47(10):3020-2. PubMed ID: 26707331.
    Abstract:
    Living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) with the use of a partial liver graft was established as an option to overcome the donor pool shortage, especially in developing countries. When right-lobe grafts are used for LDLT, appropriate venous drainage of the anterior segment is critical for maximizing the graft capacity. Here, we report a successful LDLT case using a right-lobe graft with 4 hepatic veins that were anastomosed separately to obtain adequate blood flow through the vena cava.
