title: The compromised arterial tree: how to deal with?
abstract: It is accepted that for achieving a successful liver transplantation one of the most important points is the arterial revascularization of the graft. Sometimes the recipient's hepatic artery is not suitable for anastomosis. In this review, we will discuss the different options to deal with a compromised arterial tree in cadaveric orthotopic liver transplantation with whole graft.
