摘要:
A 55-year-old woman underwent orthotopic liver transplantation for autoimmune chronic active hepatitis. Extensive portal and superior mesenteric venous thrombosis precluded standard portal venous reconstruction and necessitated use of a venous conduit from the recipient splenic vein of the donor liver. Flow through this conduit was poor, however, and to prevent subsequent portal venous thrombosis and graft loss, the conduit was arterialized by end-to-side anastomosis with the recipient hepatic artery. This ensured graft survival but resulted in prehepatic portal hypertension, which required ligation of the arterioportal fistula for 4 months. The patient had a satisfactory outcome.
