Article Synopsis
- Venous outflow reconstruction is crucial in right lobe living donor liver transplants where the middle hepatic vein is absent, and various graft options have been proposed for this process.
- A study analyzed the use of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) grafts versus autologous veins in 760 transplants, revealing that ePTFE grafts had significantly shorter cold ischemia and anhepatic times.
- Both graft types showed similar liver recovery rates and patient outcomes; ePTFE grafts demonstrated high patency rates, making them a practical solution when autologous grafts aren't available.
