ENDOVASCULAR TREATMENT OF HEPATIC VENOUS OUTFLOW OBSTRUCTION AFTER PIGGYBACK TECHNIQUE LIVER TRANSPLANTATION

Transplantation, 1999
The piggyback technique of orthotopic liver transplantation is an attractive alternative that preserves the recipient inferior vena cava and allows uninterrupted venous blood return during the anhepatic phase. As with other transplantation techniques, the vascular anastomoses required by the piggyback technique can develop strictures.Review of records ...

Comparison of the modified piggyback with standard piggyback and conventional orthotopic liver transplantation techniques: a network meta-analysis

HPB, 2023
In conventional orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), the recipient's retrohepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) is completely clamped and replaced with the donor IVC. The piggyback technique has been used to preserve venous return, either via an end-to-side or standard piggyback (SPB), or via a side-to-side or modified piggyback (MPB) anastomosis, using ...

A piggyback technique for percutaneous insertion of large catheters

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1981
It is now common for radiologists, using the Seldinger technique, to insert angiographic catheters for drainage procedures, such as percutaneous renal collecting system, biliary, and abscess drainage. However, several character istics of angiographic catheters make them less than optimal for these purposes.

Venous outflow reconstructions with the piggyback technique in liver transplantation: a single-center experience of 431 cases

Transplant International, 2005
The ideal method of venous outflow reconstruction with the piggyback technique (PB) in orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is not well-established. The complications related to PB in 431 primary OLTs were analyzed comparing the orifices used for the ...

The effects of venovenous bypass use in liver transplantation with piggyback technique: a propensity score-weighted analysis

Internal and Emergency Medicine
Venovenous bypass (VVB) use during liver transplantation (LT) is notably variable among the centres and it is actually restricted to surgically complex cases, severely unstable recipients or grafts from high-risk donors.

Extrinsic Enteroureteroplasty: A Piggyback Technique for Mid-Ureteric Replacement

European Urology, 1983
Replacement of the ureter was performed in 10 piglets using a serosa-lined intestinal tube. It was constructed by plication of the intestine and closing it at the antemesenteric border. The tube was then interposed to bridge a ureteral defect of variable length (4-6 cm).

Conventional versus piggyback technique of caval implantation; without extra-corporeal veno-venous bypass. A comparative study

Transplant International, 2006
Conventional orthotopic liver transplantation (CON-LT) involves resection of recipient cava, usually with extra-corporeal circulation (veno-venous bypass, VVB), while in the piggyback technique (PC-LT) the cava is preserved.

Modified Piggyback Technique for Adult Orthotopic Liver Transplantation

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 2000
With more than 4,000 liver transplantations currently being performed each year in the United States, several events have contributed to the improvement in outcomes, including improvements in perioperative and postoperative management, donor management, and immunosuppressive regimens; and modifications in surgical techniques.

The application of piggybacking technique in Ad hoc WLAN

2005 Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications, 2005
The technique of piggybacking reserved contention window is applied to EDCA mechanism of 802.11e in this paper, and a simple and practical algorithm is provided to maintain the stack table. The simulation results show that it can further enhance the QoS performance of ad hoc wireless local area network when the network is in the high ...

End-to-side caval anastomosis in adult piggyback liver transplantation

Clinical Transplantation, 2006
No consensus exists regarding the optimal reconstruction of the cavo-caval anastomosis in piggyback orthotopic liver transplantation (PB-LT). The aim of this study was to analyze our experience with end-to-side (ES) cavo-cavostomy.
