[Liver transplantation with partial clamping of the inferior vena cava: preliminary experiences].
Caval reconstruction during orthotopic liver transplantation is usually achieved by two end-to-end anastomoses and extracorporeal veno-venous bypass. We report our preliminary experience with a new technique by lateral clamping of the recipient's cava and a side-to-side caval anastomosis without by-pass. This new technique appears safe and shortens the operative time.
