This investigation proposes using retrohepatic IVC for portal vein reconstruction in pediatric liver transplantation, suggesting a novel graft option.
Although the IJV and LRV are established options for PV reconstruction in pediatric LT, we propose retrohepatic IVC as a feasible and effective alternative option. This approach maximizes the availability of autologous vessels; however, selection must be individualized based on graft availability and the patient condition.
