[Assessment of risk factors in the incidence of hepatic artery thrombosis in a consecutive series of 687 liver transplantations].

Abstract

Even if the type of arterial reconstruction was not found to be an independent risk factor in reducing HAT incidence after OLT, our current preferred method of arterial anastomosis is the branch patch technique, using the hepatic-gastroduodenal bifurcation, with a HAT rate of 1.44%.
