Correlation between radial and femoral arterial blood pressure during reperfusion in living donor liver transplantation.

Background And Aims: Accurate blood pressure measurements are the mainstay for the efficient management of abrupt cardiovascular changes during reperfusion in liver transplant. We sought to compare the femoral and radial pressures during reperfusion and at baseline, 1 h in dissection: portosystemic shunt, reperfusion, at bile duct anastomosis.

Methods: A retrospective study was performed amongst 102 adult patients who underwent R lobe living donor liver transplantation.
