A comparative study of the classic and piggyback techniques for orthotopic liver transplantation [PDF]
Electronic Physician, 2014 Background: The classic technique of hepatectomy with venovenous bypass may cause a longer anhepatic phase and increase the rate of some complications, such as post-operative renal failure and thromboembolic events. But, in some cases, such as tumors and

Routine use of the piggyback technique in pediatric orthotopic liver transplantation
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1996 The theoretical advantages of the piggyback technique over conventional orthotopic liver transplantation are as follows. (1) Continuous venous decompression during the anhepatic phase is provided without venovenous bypass. (2) Warm ischemia time can be shortened because there is no need for the infrahepatic vena cava anastomosis.
