Toshihiro Kitajima, Toshimi Kaido, Taku Iida, Shintaro Yagi, Yasuhiro Fujimoto, Kohei Ogawa, Akira Mori, Hideaki Okajima, Rinpei Imamine, Toshiya Shibata, Shinji Uemoto – 19 January 2016 – Hepatic venous outflow obstruction (HVOO) is a critical complication after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of HVOO and the risk factors for HVOO in adults. From 2005 to 2015, 430 adult LDLT patients (right lobe [RL] graft, 270 patients; left lobe [LL] graft, 160 patients) were enrolled and divided into no HVOO (n = 413) and HVOO (n = 17) groups.
