Fig. 3

a Intraoperative image showed the hypoplastic portal vein (PV) trunk being drawn from the superior to the inferior border of the pancreas. It corresponds to Fig. 2b. SMV, superior mesenteric vein; SpV, splenic vein. b Schema after vessel reconstructions. The right hepatic vein of the liver graft was anastomosed to the stump of the right hepatic vein. Subsequently, the autologous vessel graft was anastomosed to the right branch of the PV in the liver graft. Arterial reconstruction was microscopically performed between the right hepatic artery in the liver graft and the right hepatic artery in the recipient. IVC, inferior vena cava. c The image after vessel reconstructions
