Domino liver transplantation with double piggyback: is this the best technique? A case report.

Sequential or domino liver transplantation is a well-established procedure for patients with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP). Donation for domino liver transplantation imposed the resection of the inferior vena cava along with the liver, requiring complete suprarenal vena cava clamping and usually the use of venovenous bypass. We describe a successful case in which it was possible to perform the FAP hepatectomy by the piggyback technique.
