Abstract

Mortality for Acute Hepatic Failure (AHF) is very high if a Liver Transplant (LT) is not available in the short time that passes from the deteriorating liver function and death [1]. Portal Vein Arterialization (PVA) is a promising technique to fast the regeneration process and to reverse liver necrosis [2-4] but his role in AHF need to be defined. We report a case of a 24 years old man with AHF due to drug assumption in whom PVA was effective to restore liver function also if the patient died 6 days after operation for sepsis.
