A New procedure for temporary auxiliary partial liver transplantation using living donor graft for patients with familial amyloid polyneuropathy

To introduce duct‐to‐duct biliary anastomosis to conventional temporary auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation (APOLT) using living donor graft for patients with familial amyloid polyneuropathy, we modified the conventional APOLT procedure in a manner characterized by the use of the recipient's common hepatic duct for biliary reconstruction and the preservation of the right posterior section alone for the certain placement of a tube into the corresponding biliary tree for external biliary drainage (modified APOLT). This procedure was performed in 3 patients without biliary complications. No complications associated with the external drainage tube occurred. Here we report the techniques and results for this new procedure. Liver Transpl, 2012. © 2012 AASLD.
