Angiographic selection criteria for living related liver transplant donors.

Abstract

Absolute exclusionary criteria for LRLT are an LHA diameter of less than 2 mm, dual arterial supply to liver segments II and III, indeterminate arterial anatomy, preexisting vascular disease in donor liver, and a significant LHA supply to the right lobe. Relative exclusionary criteria are an LHA diameter of 2-3 mm, early bifurcation of the LHA, and arterial supply of segment 4 exclusively from the LHA.
