Complex vascular reconstruction using donor's vessel grafts in orthotopic liver transplantation

The vascular abnormalities of recipients are associated with reconstructive difficulties with an increased risk of postoperative complications. We performed an orthotopic liver transplantation that required a complex vascular reconstruction using donor vascular grafts. A patient with hepatitis B virus cirrhosis received a liver from a brain-dead donor. Dynamic computed tomography revealed complete obstruction of the portal vein due to thrombosis as well as narrowing of the hepatic arteries. We employed orthotopic liver transplantation using the piggy-back technique with complex reconstruction of the portal vein and the hepatic arteries. For portal vein reconstruction, we used the donor's iliac vein as an interpositional conduit from the recipient's gastric coronary vein to graft the portal vein. The hepatic arteries of the graft were reconstructed at the back-table before anastomosis to the side of superior mesenteric artery using an interpositional conduit of the donor's external iliac artery. All postoperative studies revealed good graft function with an excellent blood flow through all vascular anastomoses during the first year postoperatively.     

改进成人间活体供肝移植的手术技术

目的研究并改进成人间活体供肝移植的手术技术。方法自2002年1月至2005年8月,施行了16例成人间活体右半供肝移植。手术中改进了技术,包括右肝静脉重建、肝中静脉分支搭桥、肝动脉搭桥及胆道吻合等。结果所有供者均无严重并发症及死亡。移植肝与受者重量比（GRWR）为0．72％～1．24％,其中9例〈1．0％,2例〈0．8％。手术除了采用移植肝的右肝静脉与受者下腔静脉（IVC）直接吻合外,5例加行右肝下静脉重建、5例取自体大隐静脉行肝中静脉分支与IVC间搭桥,保证了右肝流出道通畅。最早手术的2例受者中,1例发生肝静脉吻合口狭窄,另1例发生小肝综合征,最终导致死亡。后阶段手术的14例受者均未发生小肝综合征;发生并发症5例,分别为急性排斥反应、肝动脉栓塞、胆漏、左膈下脓肿及肺部感染;1例再次肝移植后因肺部感染,多器官功能衰竭（MOF）死亡。结论活体供肝移植中采用改进的手术技术,特别是肝静脉流出道重建的方法,可有效避免发生小肝综合征。     

Anatomic variation of the right hepatic artery and its reconstruction for living donor liver transplantation using right lobe graft

We analyzed the anatomy and reconstruction of the right hepatic artery (RHA) in 96 cases of adult-to-adult living donor right liver transplantations, during 2002. Most right livers had a single orifice (n = 185, 96%). Seven right livers (4%) showed multiple arteries, namely a replaced artery in five cases and accessory arteries in two cases. Three liver grafts had two separate orifices: both arterial stumps were reconstructed in one case, and accessory arteries were ligated in two cases because of sufficient back bleeding. The mean diameter of the graft RHA was 2.4 mm (1-4). More than 60% (59 of 96) of graft arteries were anastomosed with distal branches of recipient RHA for size matching. Eleven graft arteries were anastomosed to vessels other than the RHA, namely the left hepatic artery [LHA] in eight right gastroepiploic artery in three: for size matching in five and due to previous injury of RHA in six. Five cases showed significant size-mismatches of more than twofold. The median follow-up period was 270 days. In one patient, an intramural thrombus developed on postoperative day 3 requiring a revision of the anastomosis. In another patient, arterial stenosis occurred on postoperative day 16 a time when collateral arteries had developed. The overall complication rate related to arterial reconstruction was 2%. In conclusion, with precise knowledge of the anatomy, an adequate selection of recipient arterial stump, and an experienced technique, a desirable result may be achieved in right lobe transplantation.     

Cryopreserved aortic quilt plasty for one-step reconstruction of multiple hepatic venous drainage in right lobe living donor liver transplantation

Hepatic venous outflow should be maintained for the success of living right lobe liver transplantation. In cases when the right hepatic vein is not the dominant venous drainage, the anterior branch of the middle hepatic vein and the accessory hepatic veins should be adequately drained to preserve graft function. One-step reconstruction of the hepatic veins became a preferred technique to create separate outflow for each of the graft's veins. In this report, we have described a quilt plasty technique for 1-step reconstruction of living donor hepatic veins using cadaveric cryopreserved aorta and iliac vein grafts.     

Vein reconstruction in modified right liver graft for living donor liver transplantation

OBJECTIVE: To report the authors' experience with hepatic vein reconstruction and plasty in living donor liver transplantation for adult patients. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: A right liver graft without the middle hepatic vein (MHV) trunk (modified right liver graft) can cause severe congestion of the right paramedian sector. However, the need for MHV reconstruction has not been fully recognized. METHODS: From June 2000 to December 2001, 30 adult patients received a modified right liver graft. Major MHV tributaries were preserved and reconstructed under the authors' criteria. Plasty of recipient hepatic veins for a wide outflow orifice was performed when necessitated. The regeneration of paramedian and lateral sectors of the grafts was examined by computed tomography 1 and 3 months after the operation. RESULTS: MHV tributaries were reconstructed in 18 grafts. Plasty of recipient hepatic veins was performed in 15 patients. All patients survived the operation. The regeneration of paramedian and lateral sectors was equivalent. CONCLUSIONS: A modified right liver graft can provide satisfactory surgical results if hepatic vein reconstruction and plasty are performed using the present techniques.     

Effective anatomic reconstruction of the middle hepatic vein in modified right lobe graft living donor liver transplantation

INTRODUCTION: Adult liver transplantation using the right lobe graft without a middle hepatic vein (MHV; modified right lobe graft) has widely been used to compensate for the cadaveric organ shortage. To provide appropriate functional graft volume in the right lobe graft used for living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), successful reconstruction of the MHV is required. We have described herein the effectiveness of an anatomic MHV reconstruction technique with tailoring donor hepatectomy and uniformed MHV reconstruction for modified right lobe grafts. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From December 2005 to August 2006, 15 adult patients received modified right lobe graft LDLT using a donor hepatectomy technique that exposed the right side of the MHV combined with a bench procedure that reconstructed the modified right lobe graft into the shape of extended right lobe graft, and a modified piggyback anastomosis. RESULTS: A total of 42 V5/V8s were reconstructed with 15 newly formed MHVs. The mean estimated congestion area was 4.2+/-2.7% of the total graft volume on computed tomography. The mean pressure gradient between the reconstructed MHV and the recipient inferior vena cava was 2.1+/-1.6 mmHg on postoperative day (POD) 7. None of the patients required any procedure for an outflow problem. The patency rates of the reconstructed MHV and its tributaries were 100% (15/15) and 95.2% (40/42), respectively, at POD 30; 100% (15/15) and 73.8% (31/42) at POD 60; and 86.7% (13/15) and 54.8% (23/42) at POD 90. All recipients are currently alive with good liver function. CONCLUSION: Our procedure seems to be effective for the reconstruction of MHV and its tributaries, and could make modified right lobe graft into the anatomic figure of extended right lobe graft as well as achieve the physiologic advantages of an extended right lobe graft.     

Single vs Multiple Arterial Reconstructions in Living Donor Liver Transplant

BackgroundIt is true that multiple arterial reconstructions are sometimes required in living donor liver transplant (LDLT). However, the best procedure is still controversial regarding arterial reconstruction in liver grafts with multiple arteries.MethodsA total of 93 patients, 55 right lobe grafts and 38 left lobe grafts, who underwent LDLT at our university from 2003 to 2017 were enrolled for this study. Regarding arterial reconstruction in grafts with multiple hepatic arteries, the dominant artery was reconstructed first. Subsequently, when both the pulsating arterial flow from the remaining artery stumps and the intra-graft arterial flow by Doppler ultrasonography were confirmed, the remaining arteries were not reconstructed. The patients were divided into the following 3 groups: (1) single artery/single reconstruction (n = 81), (2) selective arterial reconstruction of multiple arterial grafts (n = 7), and (3) multiple arterial reconstructions (n = 5).ResultsA total of 12.9% (12/93; right lobe: 2/55; left lobe 10/38) of grafts had multiple arteries. The incidence of multiple arteries was significantly higher in the left lobe grafts (P = .0029). The arterial diameters (SD) of multiple arterial grafts were narrower (2.43 [0.84] mm) than single arterial grafts (3.70 [1.30] mm) (P = .0135). Extra-anatomic arterial reconstruction were frequently required in multiple arterial reconstructions (group 1 and 2 vs 3) (P = .0007). The strategy of selective arterial reconstruction with the above criteria did not negatively affect the rates of biliary complications or the overall patient survival (P = .52).ConclusionsIt can be argued that selective arterial reconstructions demonstrated acceptable outcomes in LDLT, provided that the above criteria were satisfied.
