Abstract:
Redundancy of hepatic vein in the venous outflow reconstruction of partial graft in paediatric liver transplantation may occur when the graft hepatic vein is longer than anticipated. We describe two cases with outflow obstruction due to hepatic vein redundancy. The correction of the redundancy was made by pulling the graft caudally and to the left or right side of the abdominal cavity as determined by Doppler ultrasonography.
