A liver transplant recipient developed the Budd-Chiari syndrome because of an obstruction of the suprahepatic inferior vena cava anastomosis. Percutaneous balloon dilatation angioplasty was not feasible. On exploration, dense retrohepatic fibrotic reaction was observed. The patient underwent success

In previous studies, the suture technique and the cuff method were applied to anastomoses of the suprahepatic vena cava (SHVC) in rat orthotopic liver transplantation. However, the anastomosis of SHVC is difficult during transplantation because of the short length of the SHVC. Here, we developed a n
