Objectives. To study the results of implementation of various types of hepatic caval anastomosis in the liver transplantation from a living donor.
Methods. The treatment results of patients (n=598) who underwent living donor liver had been analyzed. Patients were divided into 3 groups: the 1st group included patients (n=106) who underwent to the performance of anastomosis between donor hepatic vein and inferior vena cava (IVC).
The 2nd group included patients (n=295), who underwent IVC anastomosis using the autovenous graft. The 3rd group included patients (n=197) subjected to the anastomosis performance with IVC by the vascular grafts implementation.
Results. The right-sided hepatectomy (n=95), and left-sided hepatectomy (n=11) were performed in the 1st group. The right-sided hepatectomy (n=264) and the left-sided hepatectomy (n=31) was carried out in the 2nd group. In patients of the 3rd group the right-sided hepatectomy (n=180) and the left-sided hepatectomy (n=17) were done.
In the 1st group the mean time of the anastomosis formation was 41,6±7,5 min, in the 2nd group – 29,7±8,5 min, and in the 3rd group – 30,1±8,3 min (М±σ). In 9 recipients (8,5%) of the 1st group and in 19 patients (9,6%) of the 3rd group the hepatic caval anastomosis was reperformed due to disturbances in hepatic venous blood flow.
In a month reoperations caused by disorders of the venous system were performed in 2 (1,9%) patients of the 1st group, in 2(0,7%) patients of the 2nd group and in 9 (4,6%) patients of the 3rd group.
Conclusion. In liver transplantation with implementation of autovenous graft (the 2nd group) a shorter warm ischemia time, less incidence of venous thrombosis, far fewer imposition of repeated anastomoses that distinguishes this group from the 3rd one (with the vascular prostheses using) were revealed.
