Figure 3 Configurations of all-in-one sleeve venoplasty. (A) A right liver graft (RLG) has 1 right hepatic vein (RHV) opening, 1 adjacent inferior right hepatic vein (IRHV) opening, 1 segment V vein (V5) opening, and 1 segment VIII vein (V8) opening. The RHV and IRHV openings were directly unified. An iliac vein conduit was attached to the V5. V8 was located close to the RHV opening, so they were unified. A semicircular fence with the autologous greater saphenous vein patch was attached (type 1). (B) An RLG has 1 RHV opening, 1 distant IRHV opening, 1 V5 opening, and 1 V8 opening. An iliac artery conduit was attached to the V5 and V8, and then unified with the RHV opening. Arterial patches were attached to the IRHV (type 1). (C) An RLG has 1 RHV opening, 1 distant IRHV opening, 1 V5 opening, and 1 V8 opening. An abdominal aorta was attached to the RHV and IRHV. An iliac vein conduit was attached to the V5 and V8, and then connected to the aorta graft (type 1). (D) An RLG has 1 RHV opening, 2 distant IRHV openings, and 1 V8 opening. They were unified with a large-sized common iliac vein patch (type 2).
