Transplantation of an eight-organ multivisceral graft in a patient with frozen abdomen after complicated Crohn’s disease

Figure 3 Venous and arterial reconstruction. A: Schematic demonstration of the multivisceral transplant. Venous reconstruction was accomplished by inserting the retrohepatic caval vein including the right renal vein (RV) into the recipient (CV) using standard end-to-end anastomosis of the suprahepatic inferior CV and of the infrahepatic CV between the insertion of the right donor RV and recipient RV. B: Arterial reconstruction was performed using the donor abdominal aorta with the natural offsprings of the celiac trunk (CT), superior mesenteric artery (SMA), and right renal artery (RA) and inserting it as aneo-celiac trunk at the site of the original recipient celiac trunk.
