Immunologic and nonimmunologic factors: different risks for cadaver and living donor transplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Vascular complications remain an important cause of postoperative morbidity in liver transplant patients. Herein, we present an unusual case of nonanastomotic inferior vena cava (IVC) stenosis in a patient with a "piggyback" caval anastomosis. METHODS:A 59-year-old woman underwent liver transplantation usin...
