Reconstruction of Inferior Right Hepatic Veins in Living Donor Liver Transplantation.
In Vivo 2018 September
BACKGROUND: A proper knowledge of the anatomy of the liver (including its vascular particularities) is mandatory in cases which are going to be submitted to major hepatic resection, including living donor liver transplantation.
CASE REPORT: We present the case of a living donor liver transplantation in which a particularity of the anatomy of the hepatic veins was reported for the donor: two inferior hepatic veins for segments 5 and 6. This particularity imposed the need for creation of a supplemental anastomosis in the recipient: a phleboplasty of the two inferior veins followed by direct re-implantation into the inferior cava vein. However, the postoperative course was uneventful for both the donor and the recipient.
CONCLUSION: In certain cases presenting vascular particularities such as two inferior hepatic veins, phleboplasty followed by reimplantation into the inferior cava vein might be needed in order to provide a good vascular outflow of the liver graft.
