โฆ Synopsis
Domino transplantation (DT) with livers from recipients with metabolic diseases is a well recognized tool for expanding organ availability. The best technique for caval anastomosis in DT recipients is not well defined. We devised a new technique for outflow reconstruction that was adopted in 3 cases of DT, in which all donors had familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy.

A proper venous outflow after liver transplantation (LT) is critical for good liver function. In partial liver grafting and in domino LT, there may be the need for vascular reconstruction of the venous outflow tract in order to prevent congestion of the graft.

The increasing experience with live donor liver transplantation has allowed for the identification of potential morbidities associated with technical considerations. Technical graft failure can be associated with both inflow and outflow vascular compromise. Although the latter has not always been gi
The native liver of a familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy recipient who undergoes living donor liver transplantation used as a graft for sequential liver transplantation does not include the inferior vena cava. Implantation of this whole liver graft to a second recipient could be simplified by borro
The outflow venovenous anastomosis represent a crucial aspect during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) with inferior vena cava (IVC) preservation. The modified Belghiti liver hanging maneuver applied to the last phase of hepatectomy, lifting the liver, provides a better exposure of the suprahep
