title: A simple technique for procuring liver allografts while protecting arterial vessels.
abstract: Arterial injury remains a common complication during organ procurement, with negative effects on postoperative morbidity and graft survival. We describe a simple technique that helps surgeons avoid vascular injuries during isolated liver procurement (without pancreas). This simple technique has been used in 200 liver procurements without any arterial injuries.
