Hemi-portocaval shunt： A simple salvage maneuver for small-for-size graft during living donor liver transplantation： a case report

Since the fast expansion of living donor liver transplantation （LDLT） over last few decades, small-for-size syndrome （SFSS） has emerged as a tough problem. Herein the first case of LDLT combined hemi-portocaval shunt in the mainland of China was reported. Portal venous overperfusion was well modulated and the recipient recovered uneventfully. LDLT combined hemi-portocaval shunt was a feasible procedure for preventing SFSS in LDLT.
