Graft hepatic arteries (HAs) are usually reconstructed with a recipient HA branch (anatomical HA reconstruction) in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Surgeons often encounter difficulties in reconstructing HAs, particularly when a recipient artery other than an HA branch must be used; this
In living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT), reconstruction of the hepatic artery is challenging because the recipient artery is located deep in the abdominal cavity and the operating field is limited. Also, the hepatic artery of the graft is short and the recipient artery is occasionally damaged.
