Living-Donor Liver Transplantation for Budd-Chiari Syndrome: Case Series.
Transplant Proc
October 2017
Article Synopsis
- Venous reconstruction in living-donor liver transplantation for Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) poses difficulties due to missing vena cava in donor grafts, requiring innovative surgical techniques to address thrombosis and stenosis.
- A retrospective analysis of 22 patients highlighted the creation of a wide, triangular opening for venous drainage as the primary method, with specific alternatives used for patients with completely blocked vena cava.
- The study concludes that effective venous reconstruction in BCS is possible without patch-plasty, supporting living-donor liver transplantation as a viable solution given the limited availability of deceased donors.
