Figure 2 Technical details of the middle hepatic vein reconstruction using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene graft.
A: V5 branch is anastomosed with the ePTFE graft by an end-to-end anastomosis; B and C: V8 branches are anastomosed with the ePTFE graft by an end-to-side anastomosis; D: The other end of the graft is anastomosed with the anterior wall of the right hepatic vein to form a common outflow channel. ePTFE: Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene; MHV: Middle hepatic vein; V5: Venous tributaries of segment 5; V8: Venous tributaries of segment 8.
