Application of Branch Patch in Hepatic Artery Reconstruction of 28 Cases of Liver Transplantation
Abstract：To introduce the application of branch patch in hepatic artery reconstruction of 28 cases of liver transplantation. Methods: The proper hepatic patch was made with the bifurcation of common hepatic and gastroduodenal arteries in donors, and the common hepatic branch patch was utilized with the bifurcation of the proper hepatic and gastroduodenal arteries in recipients. Then, the two patches were anastomosed to reconstruct the hepatic artery. All cases were followed up from 1 to 12 months with Doppler ultrasonography after operation. Results: The patent lumen and normal blood flow speed occurred in 25 eases, and the high flow speed and high resistance occurred in other 3 cases. This high flow speed returned to normal level after methylprednisolone impact treatment. Conclusion: This method may resolve the problem of the difference between the calibers of anastomosed arteries and decrease the tension of the arteries and bleeding. The operating time is also shortened significantly.
