Summary

METHODS: Patients were submitted to conventional (n=15) or piggyback (n=17) liver transplantation (LTx). Free hepatic vein pressure (FHVP) and the central venous pressure (CVP) measurements were performed after graft reperfusion. Postoperative (PO) serum creatinine (Cr) was measured, acute renal failure (ARF) was defined as Cr \> or = 2,0mg/dL and PO renal function was analyzed by modificated RIFLE-AKIN. PO overall Cr was calculated by area under the curve (AUC) of Cr vs. time. on the first week.

Conditions

  • End-stage Liver Disease

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Piggyback method

In the piggyback method IVC was not clamped in any case. Implantation method of the grafted IVC in recipient IVC was not standardized, being defined by the responsible surgeon during the procedure. In the two groups, all patients were submitted to simultaneous arterial and portal revascularization, according to the routine of the service.

PROCEDURE

conventional method
