Abstract
Hepatic artery thrombo sis remains the most common technical complicat ion that causes graft failure following orthotopic liver transplantati on. The Hepatic artery anastomosis should be performed using meticulou s technique and adequate magnification. We report a very low incidence of Hepatic artery, thrombosis (1.3%) utilising a modified microvascul ar 120 degrees triangulating technique in 150 adult liver transplants.
