| Abstract: | Piggy-back liver transplantation is a useful technical variant of orthotopic liver transplantation. Its success can, however, be compromised by severe stenosis or obstruction of the recipient's inferior vena cava at the level of the anastomosis. A technique is described — side-to-side cavocavostomy — to resolve this difficult intraoperative situation. |
