Does ex-situ atraumatic retrograde hepatic artery perfusion in pediatric living donor liver transplantation reduce the incidence of anastomotic biliary strictures?
PURPOSE: Using left living donor grafts, the local ischemia of the left bile duct stump has been suspected to play a crucial role in post-transplant anastomotic biliary strictures; We hypothesized that the use of atraumatic retrograde hepatic artery perfusion (RHAP) in pediatric living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) reduces the incidence of anastomotic biliary strictures.
