Left trisegmentectomy with reconstruction of segment 6 hepatic venous outflow using cryopreserved vein graft

  • Published:
Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery

Abstract

Liver resections that require hepatic vein reconstruction rarely occur. Options regarding venous reconstruction include primary end-to-end reconstruction, reimplantation into the vena cava, or the use of a variety of autologous or synthetic grafts. Cryopreserved vein grafts have recently become available for use. We describe a left trisegmentectomy with bile duct resection/reconstruction during which the segment 6 hepatic vein was reconstructed into the inferior vena cava using a cryopreserved vein graft.
