ABSTRACT
The patient was a boy of 7 years and 5 months of age, who underwent LDLT for acute liver failure at 10 months of age. HV stent placement was performed 8 months after LDLT because of intractable HV stenosis. At 7 years of age, his liver function deteriorated due to chronic rejection. The patient therefore underwent living donor liver retransplantation from his father. The HV was transected with the stent in situ. The IVC was resected due to stenosis. The pericardial cavity was opened and detached around the IVC to elongate the IVC. The divided ends of the IVC were joined by suturing to the posterior wall of the IVC. A new triangular orifice was made by adding an incision on the anterior wall of the IVC. The graft HV was then anastomosed to the new orifice with continuous sutures in the posterior wall and interrupted sutures in the anterior wall using 5-0 non-absorbable sutures. Doppler ultrasound showed a triphasic waveform. We successfully performed HV reconstruction without a vascular graft. This is a feasible procedure for overcoming HV stenosis in LDLT patients with an indwelling stent.
