ABSTRACT
Extensive thrombosis of the portal and splenomesenteric veins combined with cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV) has been considered to be a contraindication for living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) due to technical difficulties and perioperative risks. In recent years, several surgical innovations including cavoportal hemitransposition, renoportal anastomosis, and portal arterialization have been introduced to overcome diffuse portal vein thrombosis (PVT) and CTPV, but their outcomes were unsatisfactory with significant morbidity and mortality. Herein, we report two successful cases of adult LDLT in diffuse PVT with CTPV managed using the paracholedochal vein as portal inflow to the graft.
