Abstract

PurposeThis study intends to asses the impact of multiphase three-dimensional Multidetector Computed tomography (MDCT) angiography in facilitating patient selection and surgical planning in potential donors being evaluated for living adult right lobe liver transplantation. Patient and methodsFifty consecutive potential living liver donors who underwent three-dimensional (MDCT) angiography were included. MDCT angiography findings were compared with surgical results. ResultsThe overall impact of three-dimensional MDCT angiography in diagnosis of A. ConclusionMDCT angiography with multiplanar and three-dimensional techniques is a valuable tool for the evaluation of potential living liver donors that provides complete and comprehensive information on the hepatic vascular anatomy. It allows an optimal graft to be obtained that maintains the balance between blood supply and venous drainage.
