  Background: Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is a surgical challenge with technical difficulty. The aim of this study was to analyze the operative planning for management of PVT in LDLT and the impact of PVT on the outcome in comparison to patients without PVT. Methods: Between July 2003 to August 2016, 213 patients underwent LDLT. The patients were divided into two groups with and without PVT. The preoperative, operative, and postoperative data were analysed. Results: Thirty six patients (16.9%) had different grades of PVT at time of liver transplantation (LT); grades I, II, III and IV were 18 (50%), 14 (38.9%), 3 (8.3%) and 1 patient (2.8%) respectively. The management of PVT was by; thrombectomy in 31 patients (86%), bypass graft in 2 patients (5.6%), portal replacement graft in 1 patient (2.8%), anastomosis with.. View More»
