Objective:To explore the experience of liver re-transplantation for chronic graft failure. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 4 patients who underwent re-transplantation for chronic graft dysfunction in our team from January 2019 to December 2020,focusing on surgical time,intraoperative blood transfusion volume,ICU stay,total hospital stay,postoperative complications,and a literature review was conducted to summarize the experience of re-transplantation. Results:The surgery of all four patients were successful,using the in situ classic liver transplantation procedure,with an average operation time of 420 min(385-480 min),an average intraoperative infusion of 11.5 U of red blood cells(8-16 U),and an average of 1 350 mL of fresh frozen plasma (1 000-2 075 mL). The average ICU stay after surgery was 3 days(2-4 days),and an average postoperative hospitalization of hospital stay after surgery was 21 days(14-31 days). Among the 4 patients,3 had no significant complications during hospitalization. 1 patient developed stenosis of the inferior vena cava and was cured after percutaneous balloon dilation. Regular follow-up after discharge has shown stable conditions in 3 cases,while 1 patient died 20 months after surgery due to non-ischemic biliary disease. Conclusion:Liver re-transplantation is the only effective treatment for chronic graft failure after liver transplantation. By selecting suitable cases, improving surgical techniques,and enhancing perioperative management,better therapeutic effects are expected to be achieved.
