成人间右半肝活体肝移植的肝动脉重建

目的 探讨成人间右半肝活体肝移植的肝动脉重建的相关问题.方法 我院移植中心2007年5月至2008年10月,共完成17例成人活体右半肝肝移植,结合此组病例的临床资料,就肝动脉重建的术前评估、手术技巧和并发症防治进行回顾性分析.结果 17例右半肝供体均为单一肝右动脉供血,动脉平均直径3.1 mm,S4段主要由左肝动脉供血有12例(12/17,70.1%),由肝右动脉供血4例(4/17,23.5%),肝右和肝左动脉均发出动脉分支供血的1例.利用胆囊动脉扩大供肝肝右动脉吻合口径2例.供肝肝右动脉与受体肝右动脉吻合10例(10/17,60%),与受体肝左动脉吻合4例,与受体肝固有动脉吻合2例.吻合方式均为间断吻合,先吻合动脉后壁再吻合前壁,缝合针数12～16针.均为一次吻合成功,平均吻合时间(51±26)min,术后未出现肝动脉相关并发症.结论 对供肝S4段肝动脉的详细评估和保护是活体肝移植肝动脉重建的重点,不翻转供受体动脉的吻合方法可以有效降低手术难度,减少动脉并发症的发生.

Hepatic artery reconstruction in adult-to-adult right lobe living donor liver transplantation

Objective To summarize our experience in hepatic artery reconstruction in adult-to-adult right lobe living donor liver transplantation(LDLT).Methods A retrospective analysis was made for 17 cases undergoing LDLT in our center from May 2007 to Oct 2008.Results All the 17 right lobe graft of the liver was supplied by single right hepatic artery and the mean diameter of right hepatic artery was 3.1 mm.The hepatic artery for segment 4 was mainly originated from left hepatic artery(12/17,70.1%).The recipient right or left hepatic artery was used in 14 cases of reconstruction,proper hepatic artery was used in 2 cases,and gastroduodenal artery was used in one case.Anastomosis was performed with interrupted 8-0 prolene and 12-16 stitches were made on the posterior wall first and then the anterior wall to avoid turning over the vessel.The mean anastomosis time was(51±26) minutes and all hepatic arteries were patent immediately after anastomosis.Hepatic arterial complications including hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT)did not occur after LDLT.Conclusions Detailed evaluation and careful protection of the hepatic artery of segment 4 are the key to successful reconstruction of hepatic artery in LDLT.Anastomosis was performed without flipping the artery wall helped to reduce the difficulty of operation remarkably and with a good result.
