    TITLE: INCIDENCE OF HEPATIC ARTERY THROMBOSIS IN 522 CONSECUTIVE LIVING DONOR LIVER TRANSPLANTS. AUTHORS: MEHTA N.N; VARMA V; GOVINDASAMY M; KUMARAN V; MOHANKA R; RASTOGI A; NUNDY S; SOIN A. CITATION: LIVER TRANSPLANTATION. 2011 JUN; CONFERENCE: 2011 JOINT INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF ILTS, ELITA, AND LICAGE. VALENCIA SPAIN. CONFERENCE PUBLICATION: (VAR.PAGINGS). 17 (SUPPL. 1) :S240. THE AIM OF OUR PROSPECTIVE STUDY WAS TO DETERMINE INCIDENCE, TREATMENT AND CLINICAL OUTCOME OF HEPATIC ARTERY THROMBOSIS (HAT), IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING LIVING DONOR LIVING TRANSPLANTATION (LDLT). FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY-TWO CONSECUTIVE LDLT RECIPIENTS OPERATED BETWEEN JANUARY 2001 TILL MARCH 2010. DURING THE PROCEDURE, HEPATIC ARTERIAL ANASTOMOSES WAS PERFORMED WITH 7-0 PROLENE INTERRUPTED SUTURES (ETHICON) END TO END UNDER 2.5X SURGICAL LOUPE MAGNIFICATION. REPORTED COMPLICATIONS INCLUDED HAT (N=5 MALES, 3=FEMALES; MEAN AGE=44 YEARS, AGE RANGE=9 MONTHS  61 YEARS) IN WHICH 6 PATIENTS WERE RE-EXPLORED AND GRAFT ARTERIAL FLOW WAS SUCCESSFULLY RE-ESTABLISHED IN 5; REVASCULARIZATION WAS UNSUCCESSFUL (N=1) WHICH REQUIRED RE-TRANSPLANTATION; EXTENSIVE THROMBOSIS EXTENDING WITHIN THE GRAFT (N=1) WHICH THE PATIENT WAS TAKEN UP FOR RE-TRANSPLANTATION. IN CONCLUSION, METICULOUS SURGICAL TECHNIQUE FOR HEPATIC ARTERY RECONSTRUCTION PREVENTS HAT. URGENT RE-VASCULARIZATION AND/OR RE-TRANSPLANTATION IS SUCCESSFUL AND SHOULD BE ATTEMPTED FOR HAT.
