Comparison of vascular reconstruction in APHLT between this study and the Schleimer model. (A) Schematic drawing of LDABS in the current study. Note that the PV is connected to the SA directly and the CT is connected to the RRA without any stent. (B) Schematic drawing of the Schleimer model. Note that the PV is connected directly to the right renal artery using a stent, whereas the CT is connected to the AA by end-to-side anastomosis. APHLT, auxiliary partial heterotopic liver transplantation; LDABS, liver dual arterial blood supply; AA, abdominal aorta, PHA, proper hepatic artery; CHA, common hepatic artery; GDA, gastroduodenal artery; LGA, left gastric artery; SA, splenic artery; CT, celiac trunk; IVC, inferior vena cava; RRA, right renal artery; RRV, right renal vein; BD, bile duct; DD, duodenum; PV, portal vein.
