Special care must be taken in hepatic vein reconstruction to avoid outflow block in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) with a right liver graft. We have used cryopreserved homologous veins to reconstruct the right hepatic vein (RHV), middle hepatic vein (MHV), MHV tributaries (V5 and V8), and inferior right hepatic vein (IRHV). The reconstruction of V5, V8, and IRHV was based on the estimated congestive volume, calculated by the computed tomography volumetry, to secure the functional graft volume of 40% of the recipient standard liver volume. Among 262 right liver LDLT recipients, the number of reconstructed RHVs, MHVs, V5s, V8s, and IRHVs was 262, 48, 110, 111, and 147, respectively, and the overall patency was 95%, 100%, 36%, 58%, and 86%, respectively. Although the patency of the RHVs and MHVs was satisfactory, that of the V5s, V8s, and IRHVs was suboptimal. Patency of the IRHVs (86%, 126/147) was significantly better than that of both V5s (36%, 40/110) and V8s (58%, 64/111; P
