Liver Transplantation in a Patient with Absent Inferior Vena Cava: Case Report

Abstract

Transplantation procedure used if the recipient and donor do not have a special anatomical variation today; left lateral segment in the pediatric age group, and right lobe in the adult age group. Biliary atresia in children and various liver diseases like metabolic events in adults are the major causes of liver transplantation. Liver transplantation is challenging in the patients with congenital vascular anomalies. Infrahepatic interruption of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare congenital anomaly with the incidence of 0.6% to 2% and mostly found with congenital heart disease. In this study we tried to report a 58-year old male patient with a diagnosis of decompensated liver cirrhosis caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) who was hospitalized for the first time for living donor liver transplantation
