Living related liver transplantation in biliary atresia with absent inferior vena cava

Liver Transpl. 2001 Apr;7(4):376-7. doi: 10.1053/jlts.2001.22760.

Abstract

The success of the triangulation technique for hepatic venous anastomosis in left lateral segment liver transplantation has led to standardization of this procedure. We report a case of syndromic biliary atresia with absent inferior vena cava in which we constructed a neo cava to implant a living related left lateral segment graft by using the triangulation technique.
