Core Tip |
In the study, we presented a new choice for reconstructing the portal vein through a posterior pancreatic tunnel (RPVPPT) to address the issue of unresectable portal vein thrombosis in adult liver transplantation (LT). Clinical data of seven recipients who had portal vein thrombosis (PVT) and underwent RPVPPT were analyzed. PVT was found in all the seven cases with significant adhesion to the vascular wall and could not be dissected. LT was successfully performed in all patients without serious complications. Six patients survived at 12-17 mo follow-up. The RPVPPT technique may be a safe and effective surgical procedure in LT for complex PVT. |
