Abstract
The original method of liver transplantation (LT) included recipient inferior vena cava (IVC) resection and the use of extracorporeal venovenous bypass (VVB). Refinements in technique permit transplantation to be done with IVC preservation and without VVB use. Between November 1993 and November 2000, 202 consecutive grafts were performed in 188 adults (>/=16 years of age). Twelve patients (6.4%) received two and three retransplants (re-LT). Split grafting was performed 19 times (19 of 202 grafts, 9.4%). Risk factors included United Network of Organ Sharing status I (n=30, 16%), previous right upper abdominal surgery (n=32, 17.1%), caudate lobe encirclement of IVC (n=65, 32.2%), IVC (n=24, 11.9%), and splanchnic venous modification (n=58, 30.9%), transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt (n=34, 16.8%), giant (>5 kg) liver tumor (n=6, 3%), septic necrosis of the caudate lobe (n=1, 0.5%), and previous cavocaval (n=13, 6.4%) or classical LT (n=5, 2.5%). IVC preservation, avoidance of IVC cross clamping and of VVB use were possible in 98.9%, 93%, and 99.5% of 183 primary LT and in 89.5%, 84.2%, and 89.5% of 19 re-LT. Temporary portocaval shunting was never applied. Perioperative mortality was 1.2%. There was no allotransfu...Continue Reading
