Utilization of autologous vein graft for replacement of the inferior vena cava in living-donor liver transplantation for obliterative hepatocavopathy

Obliterative hepatocavopathy (OHC) is a subtype of Budd-Chiari syndrome in which stenosis or obstruction of the retrohepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) is observed. Although IVC replacement is necessary in OHC patients, there are hardly any graft vessels available for IVC reconstruction during living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Here, we describe a novel technique of IVC reconstruction using only the autologous blood vessels in an OHC patient during LDLT. In this case, sufficient drainage of the hepatic outflow and reconstruction of the venous return from the lower half of the body were simultaneously required. Therefore, we substituted the retrohepatic IVC with the suprarenal IVC of the recipient, and we reconstructed the IVC continuity by using the autologous internal jugular vein and external iliac vein. The operation was safe, and the postoperative venous drainage from the hepatic tributaries was in good condition. This procedure might be an option for IVC replacement during LDLT.     

Donor graft outflow venoplasty in living donor liver transplantation.

Hepatic venous outflow reconstruction is a key to successful living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) because its obstruction leads to graft dysfunction and eventual loss. Inclusion or reconstruction of most draining veins is ideal to ensure graft venous drainage and avoids acute congestion in the donor graft. We developed donor graft hepatic venoplasty techniques for multiple hepatic veins that can be used in either right- or left-lobe liver transplantation. In left-lobe grafts, venoplasty consisting of the left hepatic vein and adjacent veins such as the left superior vein, middle hepatic vein, or segment 3 vein is performed to create a single, wide orifice without compromising outflow for anastomosis with the recipient's vena cava. In right lobe graft where a right hepatic vein (RHV) is adjacent with a significantly-sized segment 8 vein, accessory RHV, and/or inferior RHV, venoplasty of the RHV with the accessory RHV, inferior RHV, and/or segment 8 vein is performed to create a single orifice for single outflow reconstruction with the recipient's RHV or vena cava. Of 35 venoplasties, 2 developed hepatic venous stenoses which were promptly managed with percutaneous interventional radiologic procedures. No graft was lost due to hepatic venous stenosis. In conclusion, these techniques avoid interposition grafts, are easily performed at the back table, simplify graft-to-recipient cava anastomosis, and avoid venous outflow narrowing.     

Living Donor Liver Transplantation in Budd-Chiari Syndrome: A Single-Center Experience

Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS), which is characterized by hepatic venous outflow obstruction due to occlusion of the major hepatic vein and/or the inferior vena cava (IVC), is rare. Traditionally, a caval resection is advocated for these patients; however, such a manenver renders living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) impossible. We encountered BCS in 4/377 LDLT patients during a 5-year period (January 2003 to December 2007). This report examine the various surgical modifications in these 4 patients, who underwent to LDLT for BCS. Resection of right hepatic vein (RHV) with an adjacent fibrotic part of the IVC with direct anastomosis of the graft RHV to the IVC was performed in 2 patients. One patient underwent retrohepatic IVC excision and reconstruction with a cryopreserved autologous IVC graft. The fourth patient, with a preexisting mesoatrial shunt for BCS, underwent conversion of this to a RHV atrial shunt. Graft and patient survivals were 100%. There were few complications in either donors or recipients. LDLT for BCS can be performed safely with adequate venous drainage techniques and with anticoagulant therapy and good follow-up for early diagnosis and treatment of recurrence leading to excellent long-term results.     

Successful Renal Transplantation in Small Children With a Completely Thrombosed Inferior Vena Cava

In small children with end‐stage renal disease, an adult‐sized kidney transplant is the best option. However, in the face of a completely thrombosed inferior vena cava (IVC), such transplants can be challenging, given the difficulty of achieving adequate renal venous outflow and the risk of graft thrombosis. Using a new technique to anastomose the renal vein to the right hepatic vein/IVC junction, we successfully implanted an adult‐sized graft in two small children (9.8 and 14 kg) who had end‐stage renal disease and a completely thrombosed IVC. After mobilizing the right lobe of the liver and obtaining total vascular occlusion of the liver, we used a Fogarty catheter to dilate the retrohepatic IVC. In the right hepatic vein, we made a venotomy and extended it inferiorly onto the retrohepatic IVC. To that venotomy, we anastomosed the donor left renal vein, using continuous 7‐0 Prolene sutures. Both patients attained excellent renal allograft function: One had a serum creatinine level of 0.30 mg/dL at 6 mo after transplant, and the other had a level of 0.29 mg/dL at 1 year. In these two small children with completely thrombosed IVC, our technique for transplanting an adult‐sized kidney provided adequate venous outflow.     

Asymptomatic thrombosis as a late complication of a retrohepatic vena caval graft performed for primary leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava: report of a case

A 63-year-old woman successfully underwent a graft replacement of the retrohepatic inferior vena cava with a ringed polytetrafluoroethylene graft for primary leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava (IVC). Although anticoagulant had been administered, a thrombus was found in the IVC just cranial of the downstream anastomosis 67 months after the operation. The patient remained free of symptoms, and she had no evidence of any tumor recurrence. She underwent a complete resection with a prosthetic reconstruction for leiomyosarcoma of the IVC and has since been able to enjoy a reasonably long-term survival. The occurrence of thrombosis must be kept in mind in the long-term follow-up of such cases. Received: October 3, 2001 / Accepted: May 7, 2002 Reprint requests to: K. Hirohashi     

Cross-clamping of the three hepatic veins in the piggyback technique is a safe and well tolerated procedure

Abstract A common stump of the three hepatic veins has always been used to fashion the upper vena cava anastomosis in 205 liver transplantations with the piggyback (PGB) technique performed in our Unit, to avoid outflow problems. The aim was to study the repercussion of lateral inferior vena cava (IVC) clamping on IVC flow and pressure as well as on systemic hemodynamics. We have studied 42 orthotopic liver transplantations performed with the PGB technique. Intraoperative IVC blood flow measurements by transit time ultrasonic volume flowmetry, IVC pressure, and systemic hemodynamics were taken before and after lateral IVC clamping. Graft outflow complications, stenosis or kinking of the upper vena cava anastomosis have not been found in any of the 205 PGB procedures. A significant decrease of IVC flow (23%) and cardiac out-put (12%) occurred after IVC clamping, whereas mean arterial and central venous pressures were not altered significantly, probably due to an increase (25%) of systemic vascular resistance. Only in one case was an almost total clamping of IVC needed. Venovenous bypass was not needed in any case. Renal perfusion pressure was adequate in all cases. We conclude that the use of a common stump of the three hepatic veins for upper vena cava anastomosis in the PGB technique is safe because any outflow problem of the graft is avoided and, at the same time, is well tolerated hemodynamically because most of the IVC flow is preserved.     

Budd-Chiari syndrome treated by Senning's procedure

Two patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome who underwent a new surgical procedure developed by Senning are reported. A 33-year-old man was diagnosed as having Budd-Chiari syndrome with a membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and right hepatic vein and short segmental obstruction of the left hepatic vein. Removal of the obstruction by dorsocranial resection of the liver and reconstruction of the veins by hepatoatrial anastomosis was carried out. In a 53-year-old female, the same procedure was carried out for a short segmental obstruction of the IVC and left hepatic vein. In both patients, postoperative examination revealed good patency of the IVC and the hepatic veins and increased portal venous flow as measured by Doppler-echography. This procedure is considered the method of choice for Budd-Chiari syndrome with membranous and/or short segmental obstruction of the IVC and hepatic veins.     

Outflow block secondary to stenosis of the inferior vena cava following living-donor liver transplantation?

Although it is well known that outflow block is caused by stenosis or occlusion of hepatic vein anastomoses following living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), there have been few reports on inferior vena cava (IVC) stenosis following LDLT. In this paper, we report two cases of IVC stenosis and hepatic vein outflow block following right hepatic LDLT in the absence of stenosis of any of the anastomoses. Both patients presented with liver dysfunction, an ascitic fluid volume of approximately 2000 mL, and congestion in their biopsy specimens, and venocavography demonstrated IVC stenosis with gradients of more than 10 mmHg in patients with a dominant inferior right hepatic vein (IRHV) anastomosis. After a Gianturco expandable metallic stent successfully implanted in the IVC, the patient's liver function recovered and the volume of ascitic fluid decreased. The pathogenesis of hepatic vein outflow block secondary to IVC stenosis following LDLT may involve the anastomosis with the IRHV, which is the dominant draining vein of the graft and larger than the RHV, caudal to the IVC stenosis and a significant IVC pressure gradient that results in increased IRHV pressure. In conclusion, it is important to include hepatic vein outflow block in the differential diagnosis when patients who have undergone right hepatic LDLT in which anastomosis of the large IRHV has been performed develop manifestations of liver dysfunction.
