Low measured hepatic artery flow increases rate of biliary strictures in deceased donor liver transplantation: An age dependent phenomenon.

Background: This study was conducted to determine effect of lower measured hepatic arterial (HA) flow (=400 mL/min; N = 1099) HA flow groups. Incidence of biliary complications and graft survival were analyzed. Results: HA flows 50 years was associated with increased rate of biliary strictures (HR 1.67 (1.14-2.45), p = 0.0085) and graft failure (HR 1.68 (1.35-2.1), p
