To assess the feasibility and outcome of orthotopic liver transplantation(OLT) with no veno-venous bypass(v-v hypass)in adult patients.Methods:Between 1999 and 2001 ,43 adult patients underwent OLT with v-v bypass,33 with no v-v bypass.The operation time,anhepatic time,amount of blood loss,amount of blood transfusion,ICU stay days of the two groups were compared.renal function and gastrointestinal function in the two groups were examined.Results:There was no significant difference in mean serum creatinine on day 3 and gas discharge time in patients with v-v bypass or not.With no v-v hypass,the average operation time was 5.7±1.3 hours,anhepatic time was 64±13 minutes,median amount of blood loss in operation was 4000±820mL,median amount of blood transfused intracperatively was 4650±910mL,median ICU stay was 5.7 days;all those were lower or shorter than those with v-v hypass.and these differences betweent the two groups had statistical significances.Conclusion:OLT with no v-v bypass is safe and can be performed in the majority of adult patients.The practice of liver transplantation with no v-v hypass is associated with shorter total operation time.shorter anhepatic time,lower blood product ussege,and shorter ICU stay compared with standard technique of OLT with routine use of v-v bypass.
