Partial dearterialization of the liver allograft
The clinical course of five patients with partial dearterialization of their hepatic allografts is described. One patient died and three others suffered serious morbidity as a direct or indirect result of this complication. Partial dearterialization of the liver allograft is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication for which preservation of the complete hepatic arterial supply is important, even if this requires reconstruction of the aberrant vessels. © 1990 Springer-Verlag
