Abstract:
Objective To summarize the experience in hepatic artery reconstruction in adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation(ALDLT).Methods Fifty patients underwent ALDLT in our hospital from January 2002 to July 2006.All the hepatic a~ery reconstructions were done under surgical microscope.ResultsTwo patients(4%)presented with hepatic artery thrombosis.All the patients were followed up for 2 to 52 months (median,9 months),and no hepatic artery stenosis nor hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm occurred.The 1-year survival rate was 92%(46/50).Conclusions Systematic evaluation of hepatic artery reconstruction and use of microsurgical technique are key to the reduction of complications of hepatic artery reconstruction in ALDLT.
