Lateral cavo-caval shunt: an alternative veno-venous bypass in liver surgery

Abstract: When inferior vena cava (IVC) resection is mandatory during liver surgery, use of a veno-venous bypass (VVB) is usually required despite its specific related adverse events. We describe a safe and alternative technique which allows both derivation of the portal and the caval blood flow by performing a lateral cavo-caval shunt using a prosthetic graft.

“…The left renal vein had robust back bleeding, and it is unlikely to be the etiology of the embolism. The use of a temporary cavo-caval shunt, such as practiced in liver transplant surgery, 22 to eliminate venous stasis might have decreased the risk of this complication. Suprarenal IVC filter placement is a safe and effective technique.…”
