Low Measured Hepatic Artery Flow Increases Rate of Biliary Strictures in Deceased Donor Liver Transplantation

Abstract

HA flow less than 400 mL/min was associated with higher rate of biliary strictures in younger donors with duct-to-duct reconstruction and lower graft survival. A consideration should be given to increase the intraoperative HA flow to prevent biliary strictures in such patients.
