Graft aberrant hepatic arteries in deceased donor liver transplantation: The “one liver, one artery” approach
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Liver Transplantation"
DOI: 10.1002/lt.26536
Abstract: In liver transplantation (LT), graft aberrant hepatic arteries (aHAs) frequently require complex arterial reconstructions, potentially increasing the risk of post‐operative complications. However, intrahepatic hilar arterial shunts are physiologically present and may allow selective aHA ligation.… read more here.
