✦ Synopsis

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, interposition, or jump graft. The patency results were compared with those of anastomosis without vein patch (n = 217) or those with vein autografts (n = 10). The 5-yr primary and secondary patency rates of the cryopreserved vein grafts were 58% and 79%, respectively. In conclusion, our data indicate that the use of cryopreserved vein grafts should be limited as conduits in PV reconstruction in adult LDLT.

Congenital absence of the portal vein (CAPV) is a rare malformation of the splanchnic venous system. Although CAPV is usually detected in the pediatric age group, our patient was a 35-year-old woman. She had been diagnosed with CAPV in 1996 when she was 27 years old. In 1998, she was placed on hemod
