Abstract

Arterial revascularization is essential for graft survival in transplantation of the liver. The 'branch-patch' technique described herein simplifies this small anastomoses. Firty-two pig and human transplants have been performed resulting in 100 per cent patency. This approach may also be suitable for other small arterial anastomoses.
