Long-Term Suitability of Left Gastric Artery Inflow for Arterial Perfusion of Living Donor Right Lobe Grafts.

At grafting, the risk for later thrombosis is high if a dissected hepatic artery is used for standard reconstruction. Surgeon diagnosis of dissection requires nonstandard management with alternative technique in addition to microvascular expertise.
