Abstract EN
Portal vein thrombosis is observed in up to 10% of liver transplant candidates, hindering execution of the procedure.
A dilated gastric vein is an alternative to portal vein reconstruction and decompression of splanchnic bed.
We present two cases of patients with portal cavernoma and dilated left gastric vein draining splanchnic bed who underwent liver transplantation.
The vein was dissected and sectioned near the cardia; the proximal segment was ligated with suture and the distal segment was anastomosed to the donor portal vein.
Gastroportal anastomosis is an excellent option for portal reconstruction in the presence of thrombosis or hypoplasia.
It allows an adequate splanchnic drainage and direction of hepatotrophic factors to the graft.
