This study was intended to describe in detail the surgical technique and long-term outcome of autologous portal vein (PV) Y-graft interposition for adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). We assessed the outcome of 841 patients who underwent right lobe LDLT from January 2002 to December 200

The addition of the caudate lobe to a left liver graft is known to increase graft volume by 9% and has been shown to be useful for overcoming borderline graft-recipient size mismatch in adult living donor liver transplantation. To assure full graft viability and regeneration, all of the feeding vess
No data are available for the management of venous jump or interposition conduits for portal vein (PV) reconstruction in adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). The feasibility of using cryopreserved vein grafts as PV conduits was examined. Cryopreserved vein (n = 23) was used as a patch, i
Right-side rotation of the graft is an uncommon event after pediatric living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) with a left-sided graft. However, graft rotation might lead to gradual portal vein (PV) stretching and late portal vein complications (PVCs). The goal of this study was to quantify the deg
