Congenital absence of the portal vein (CAPV) with an extrahepatic portosystemic shunt is a rare malformation; the completely absent type, Abernethy malformation type I, is especially rare. Liver transplantation for CAPV type I has been recently recognized as the only curative operation, but few repo

Adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation (AA-LDLT) is an established treatment option for selected patients with end-stage liver disease. However, its widespread application is limited by the liver volume that can be safely resected from a living donor because a sufficient volume is also re
In general, for a liver transplantation to be successful, the graft size should cover 30%-40% of the expected liver volume or 0.8%-1.0% of the body weight of the recipient. 1,2 However, small-for-size-graft syndrome depends not only on the graft size but also on the recipient's preoperative conditio
We looked at the impact of delayed splenic artery occlusion (SAO) on recipients with established small-for-size syndrome (SFSS) after partial graft liver transplantation [either from a living donor (LD) or split from a deceased donor (DD)]. Between 1999 and 2007 we performed a total of 100 partial l
