Piggyback Liver Transplantation Techniques

2019
Ever since the first human liver transplant by Starzl et al. [1] in 1963, modifications of the original technique have been successively described in an attempt to improve outcome and reduce the incidence of graft and patient morbidity and mortality.

Molar uprighting with the piggyback buccal sectional arch wire technique

American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 1991
This article describes an orthodontic mechanical variation to unlock and upright mandibular impacted second permanent molars. This is accomplished with a small sectional arch wire that is ligated in a piggyback fashion to the existing arch wire and first molar band attachment.

Conventional versus Piggyback Techniques: Do They Have Different Outcomes?

Progress in Transplantation, 2014
Background Conventional orthotopic liver transplant includes resection of the recipient's native liver, together with the retrohepatic inferior vena cava, whereas with the piggyback technique, the recipient's vena cava is preserved and the donor's vena cava is anastomosed with the recipient's hepatic veins.

Domino Liver Transplantation With Double Piggyback: Is This the Best Technique? A Case Report

Transplantation Proceedings, 2006
Sequential or domino liver transplantation is a well-established procedure for patients with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP). Donation for domino liver transplantation imposed the resection of the inferior vena cava along with the liver, requiring complete suprarenal vena cava clamping and usually the use of venovenous bypass.

Use of the Piggyback Hepatectomy Technique in Liver Transplant Recipients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Transplantation, 2008
The piggyback hepatectomy technique (PGB) is avoided in liver transplant patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to decrease the theoretical risk of a positive vena cava margin or hematologic metastases. This study reports the routine use of PGB in 138 consecutive adult, deceased donor liver transplant recipients with HCC.

Different cava reconstruction techniques in liver transplantation: piggyback versus cava resection

Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International, 2014
Originally, cava reconstruction (CR) in liver transplantation meant complete resection and reinsertion of the donor cava. Alternatively, preservation of the recipients inferior vena cava (IVC) with side-to-side anastomosis (known as "piggyback") can be performed.

Orthotopic Liver Transplantation Without Venovenous Bypass Using the Conventional and Piggyback Techniques

Transplantation Proceedings, 2011
Orthotopic liver transplantation is a widely used procedure for the treatment of irreversible liver diseases for which there is no possibility of medical treatment. When this procedure is performed by the conventional technique, the retrohepatic vena cava is removed along with the native liver.

Black-on-clear piggyback technique for a black occlusive intraocular device in intractable diplopia

Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, 2012
Black occlusive intraocular devices have been used successfully for intractable binocular diplopia. We describe a novel technique of implanting both a black occlusive device and a clear poly(methyl methacrylate) intraocular lens (IOL) in the capsular bag during phacoemulsification surgery.

Ascites after liver transplantation and inferior vena cava reconstruction in the piggyback technique

Transplantation Proceedings, 2002
we have used the piggyback technique byperforming an end-to-side cavocaval anastomosis betweenthe suprahepatic donor vena cava and the recipient venacava, as described by Starzl. The donor suprahepatic venacava is anastomosed to the vascular cuff formed by combin-ing the lumina of the three suprahepatic veins of therecipient.
