“…It drains the superficial structures of the medial thigh and leg. The autologous GSV has been frequently used for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) after harvesting from the patients themselves [1][2][3][4]. Because of the small diameter of the GSV, the clinical use of homologous GSV for hepatobiliary-pancreatic surgery and liver transplantation has yet not been reported worldwide.…”

“…The GSV is a small-sized thick-walled vein, thus it has been frequently used as an arterial substitute for CABG for a long period [ 6 ]. Very long patency of patent CABG with a GSV graft has been reported [ 7 ], but there was a potential risk of aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm after the CABG using GSV grafts [ 8 , 9 ]. The present case underwent retransplantation due to chronic rejection 8 years after LDLT, in which the GSV conduit was patent without any vascular complications throughout the 8-year period.…”

We have preferentially used the right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA) as an alternative for the recipient hepatic artery (HA) inflow during living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), but it was not always available. We herein present a case of adult LDLT with HA reconstruction using a greater saphenous vein (GSV) conduit because of the absence of the RGEA due to prior subtotal gastrectomy. A 55-year-old male patient diagnosed with hepatitis B virus-associated liver cirrhosis and secondary biliary cirrhosis underwent LDLT using a modified right liver graft. The upper abdominal cavity was heavily adhered due to prior abdominal surgeries, thus we had to sacrifice the common bile duct and the right HA completely. A 6-cm-long GSV segment was harvested from the left ankle and interposed between the recipient gastroduodenal artery and the graft HA. The patient recovered from LDLT and HA complications did not occur. However, 8 years after LDLT, chronic rejection occurred, thus repeated deceased donor liver transplantation was performed. This patient has been doing well for 2 years after retransplantation. In conclusion, we suggest that interposition of an autologous GSV conduit can be an alternative for establishing HA inflow in LDLT when other inflow source is not available.

Because the GSV is long and narrow, its clinical applicability is limited in the field of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).…”
