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

โฆ Synopsis
DOMINO LIVER TRANSPLANTATION DONOR HEPATECTOMY
The domino donor (DD) was a 16-year-old boy with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. He received a whole liver graft from a 9-year-old deceased donor. We designed the hepatic outflow to be reconstructed by side-to-side cavocaval anastomosis for the first liver transplantation, so the DD hepatectomy was performed with preservation of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and the stumps of 3 hepatic veins were preserved as long as possible.

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
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 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.

The outflow venovenous anastomosis represent a crucial aspect during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) with inferior vena cava (IVC) preservation.

The goals of this study were to evaluate the incidence of hepatic venous outflow obstruction (HVOO) in pediatric patients after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) using left-sided lobe grafts and to assess the therapeutic modalities used for the treatment of this complication at a single cent
