Abstract:
Although infrahepatic inferior vena cava interruption has been reported in patients undergoing liver transplant, details on perioperative management are scarce. Here, we present a patient with a congenital inferior vena cava anomaly, characterized by infra-hepatic interruption of the inferior vena cava accom-panied by azygos continuation, who underwent orthotopic liver transplant. Patients with anomalies of the inferior vena cava require important considerations during preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases of liver transplant. These considerations, which led to our patient having a good outcome that continued 2 years after transplant, are detailed in this report.
