In living donor liver transplantation, variations in donor vascular anatomy, recipient portal vein thrombosis, short donor vessel length, and reconstitution of the anterior sector outflow in right lobe grafts often make complex and innovative vascular reconstructions necessary, which require the use of extension vascular conduits. Commonly used grafts are cryopreserved vessels from deceased donors, or obtained from the recipient or the live liver donor. Faced with paucity of deceased donor vessels, and to avoid the use of live donor veins in patients with malignancy or unusable intrahepatic veins, we have started using cryopreserved veins harvested from explanted livers of other recipients of the same blood group who had no transmissible infection or intrahepatic malignancy.
