Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine clinical roles for 3D CT hepatic venography in the evaluation of peripheral hepatic venous anatomy during living-donor liver transplantation. Subjects comprised 54 donors (age range, 20-60 years) who had undergone surgery to donate a liver for transplantation. Visualization of each hepatic venous branch and total visualization using 3D CT hepatic venography were evaluated. Maximum venous branch order visualized was graded as nil, first branch, second branch, or third branch or more. The distance between the hepatic surface and the tip of each hepatic venous branch was classified as 0-5 mm, 6-10 mm, 11-15 mm, 16-20 mm, or 21-25 mm. Quality of total 3D CT hepatic venography was evaluated subjectively as poor, good, fair, or excellent. Dominance of large hepatic veins in the right lobe, peripheral branching pattern of the middle hepatic vein, and branching pattern of the vein draining segment IVb were also assessed. Most hepatic venous branches (96.2% [275/286]) were visualized up to at least the second-order branches, and 93.7% (268/286) of branches were within 10 mm of the hepatic surface. As for total visualization, 98% (53/54) of cases were regarded as excellent. The dominant vein in ...Continue Reading
