Caval Inflow to the Graft for Liver Transplantation in Patients With Diffuse Portal Vein Thrombosis

Abstract

Caval inflow to the graft is an efficacious salvage technique with satisfactory long-term results, considering the spontaneous outcome in patients denied LT because of diffuse PVT. Adequate preoperative management of PHT and its associated complications is vital in obtaining good results. In the long term, residual PHT resolves and the liver function returns to normal.
