Abstract

A modified technique of orthotopic hepatic transplantation with inferior vena caval preservation and piggy-back procedure is described. This procedure, used in 14 patients, avoided the need for temporary vena cava clamping in nine cases and reduced the need for venous bypass during orthotopic liver transplantation. The indications, results and advantages of this procedure are described.
