Résumé
The development of large spontaneous portosystemic shunts (PSS) is a common finding in liver cirrhosis. The diversion of the portal flow through PSS directly into the caval system causes progressive liver atrophy and atretic changes of the portal vein. During both living and deceased donor liver transplantation (LT), persistence of large PSS has been associated to portal flow steal phenomena causing decreased patients and graft survival. Atretic changes of the portal vein and large PSS often coexist potentially representing a technical challenge during portal vein reconstruction. We herein describe (with a didactical video) an easy augmentation patch V-venoplasty used in the presence of atretic changes of the portal vein LT.
