Résumé :

Several surgical techniques have been developed to allow liver transplantation in cases of complete portal vein thrombosis in the recipient. Despite this, these transplantations remain associated with a significant complication rate. We report herein a case of liver transplantation in a patient with complete portal vein thrombosis, underlying the potential pitfalls and the risk of intestinal sutures in case of hepaticojejunostomy. We discuss the technical options and their relative indications in such cases.
