Sufficient Hepatic Artery Flow Redeems Poor Portal Vein Flow after Liver Transplantation in Patients with Porta Vein Thrombosis
General Surgery, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH.
Objective:Although portal vein thrombosis(PVT) in liver transplantation is no longer a contraindication, it remains technically challenging. Insufficient intraoperative PV flow after PV thrombectomy/reconstruction was reported…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Initial Hepatic Artery Reperfusion versus Initial Portal Reperfusion in Liver Transplantation: Where Do We Stand?
Introduction: While initial portal vein reperfusion (PVRP) of a liver allograft is nearly standardized, limited data suggests initial hepatic arterial reperfusion (HARP) may improve hemodynamics…2018 American Transplant Congress
