Abstract

Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) with preservation of the inferior vena cava (IVC) was performed in 7 patients during a period of 7 weeks. For 5 years in this center are realized 180 OLT, the last 93 of them with preservation VCI (51.6%). This method had important advantages versus standard operation--blood loss and operating time are reduced, IVC does not clamped. This operation can be used in the majority of cases.
