Auxiliary liver transplantation (ALT) is a treatment for acute liver failure when regeneration of the native liver is possible or for metabolic disorders. In selected cases ALT and orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) have similar survival when ALT is performed in the orthotopic position (auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation, APOLT). Drawback of ALT with portal vein to portal vein anastomosis is the frequent occurrence of thrombosis, compromising both graft and native liver, and the necessity of a significant resection. To avoid division of portal flow we performed ALT with an end-to-end anastomosis between the graft portal vein and the left renal vein of the recipient (reno-portal ALT, REPALT). The hepatic artery was anastomosed to the aorta using an iliac arterial graft conduit. The bile duct was anastomosed to the stomach. In the two cases presented here excellent immediate graft function occurred with rapid regeneration of the graft and without early vascular complications.
