Figure 1 Surgical technique of middle hepatic vein tirubatiries reconstruction. A: V-5 is anastomosed with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft end-to-end manner directly entering inferior vena cava (IVC); B: V8 is anastomosed with PTFE graft end-to-end manner directly entering IVC; C: V5 is anastomosed with PTFE graft end-to-end manner, V8 is anastomosed with PTFE graft end-to-side manner and entering IVC directly; D: V5 is anastomosed with PTFE graft in end-to-end manner, V8 is anastomosed with PTFE graft in end-to-side manner, then the proximal end of PTFE graft is combined with Triangulation method with right hepatic vein. IVC: Inferior vena cava; RHV: Right hepatic vein.
