Technical aspects in living-related liver transplantation are still under debate: the main pitfall is the arterial reconstruction due to the small diameter and the discrepancy between stumps, with a subsequent increased risk of arterial thrombosis. The gold standard is the microsurgical technique, that reports the lowest risk of thrombosis, but it is a time consuming procedure requiring a long training. Our method of choice reconstructing hepatic artery in right lobe is the use of the cystic artery as a branch patch with the recipient hepatic artery by loop magnification, saving time and with a low incidence of hepatic artery thrombosis.
