| Popis: | In the era of worldwide organ shortage for liver transplantation, every effort must be made to use all potentially available livers. In this case report, we present a liver graft with abnormal left hepatic vein draining directly to the right atrium of the donor heart, which was discovered during back table preparation of a liver graft. The vein was reconstructed and the subsequent liver transplantation was successful. Five years after the transplantation, no signs of complications have emerged. |
