Impact of Pre-Transplant Liver Hemodynamics and Portal Reconstruction Techniques on Post-Transplant Portal Vein Complications in Pediatric Liver Transplantation

Abstract

PV hypoplasia with liver hemodynamic disturbances was mainly observed in BA. Hepatic ARI ≥1 might be a good predictor of PV complications post-LT. Latero-lateral portoplasty seemed to provide the best results when end-to-end anastomosis is not feasible.
