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

Cryopreserved iliac vein grafts (IVGs) have often been used for reconstruction of middle hepatic vein (MHV) branches in right liver grafts, but their storage pool has often been exhausted in our institution due to the low incidence of deceased donor organ procurement. To overcome this shortage of IV
Major short hepatic veins (SHV) are indicated for vascular reconstruction to prevent excessive hepatic venous congestion of right liver grafts. As separate anastomoses of multiple small SHVs are vulnerable to stenosis or regeneration-related torsion, a conjoined large opening of SHVs may be better t
The incidence of clinically significant right hepatic vein (RHV) stenosis after adult living donor liver transplantation has been higher than expected. In this study, an assessment of the risk factors for the development of RHV stenosis in this context was undertaken. Hepatic anatomy, surgical techn
Various techniques of hepatic vein reconstruction have been created to secure the venous outflow drainage of extended right lobe grafts. They can be roughly classified as follows: unification venoplasty of the right hepatic vein (RHV) and middle hepatic vein (MHV) trunk and corresponding triangular
