Abstract

THERE ARE two commonly employed techniques for harvesting of liver grafts regarding preservation. One is to infuse the preservation fluid in the aorta and portal vein, the other is to use only aortic perfusion. Including portal cannulation in the donor operation prolongs operation time and handling of the organs to be retrieved, which could be disadvantageous, especially in the unstable donor. This study was performed to determine if the choice of preservation technique influences early graft function and survival.
