| Core Tip |
The anatomical, histological and clinical studies using the recanalized ligamentum teres hepatis (LTH) to reconstruct the portal vein (PV) and/or superior mesenteric vein (SMV) were studied. It was found that the post-dilated length and diameter of the LTH were suitable for PV and/or SMV reconstruction. The histological structure of the LTH wall was similar to the PV. High vascular patency rate and good clinical effects were acquired in clinical application. It was demonstrated that there is both basic and clinical rationale for the use of LTH in PV and/or SMV reconstruction since it does not cause additional injury or increase medical costs and has good clinical effects. |
