Orthotopic end-to-end cavostomy following liver transplantation was without any complications in 63 cases as compared to latero-lateral cavostomy (14.2%) and the piggy-back technique of partial liver grafts (14.2%). Transjugular catheterangioplasty was a practical and successful treatment for the latter, while reoperation for thrombosis in the latero-lateral anastomosis resulted in lethal pulmonary embolism.
