[Arterial revascularization of liver graft with PTFE vascular prosthesis].
When the hepatic artery is not available in liver transplantation because of its bad quality or low flow, arterial grafts from the donor have to be used to obtain arterial blood flow from the aorta. The case of use of a vascular PTFE prosthesis when no vascular grafts were available is presented, with good outcome 6 months after transplantation.
