Brief summary
In an Australian context, there is a paucity of information regarding the uptake, safety and outcomes of veno-venous bypass during liver transplantation. We seek to characterise contemporary practice at a major Australian center and will conduct an observational study, describing the baseline characteristics, intra-operative course and postoperative outcomes for patients receiving VVB. Through this case series, we aim to explore the persisting indications and practicalities of veno-venous bypass in a modern era of selective use. Who is it for? You may be eligible for this study if you are an adult patient over 18 years of age who underwent liver transplantation at Austin Health and required veno-venous bypass as part of your standard of care. Study details This study will be conducted using a review of medical records, and no patient contact will be required. The study will review the medical records of adult patients who underwent liver transplantation at the above Hospital between March 2008 and March 2022. It is hoped that this research will help to provide a better understanding of outcomes associated with venous venous bypass during surgery in this unique patient cohort.

In this study we will characterize the contemporary practice with the use of venous venous bypass for adult patients undergoing liver transplantation at a major Australian liver transplant center. There is no direct patient involvement, only the retrospective collection of patient data from their electronic medical records and there Each patients' data will only be collected once and the period for which the data will be collected will from the start of their liver transplant surgery (surgical incision) to their date of hospital discharge. All patients who underwent liver transplantation and veno-venous bypass between 1st January 2010 to 1 January 2023 will have their data collected. There will be no prospective collection of any other data. Patients will not be contacted at any point. The types of data collected will be data-linkage only. From the data collected from the electronic medical records, we will describe the baseline characteristics of those liver transplant patients who required intraoperative venous venous bypass. We will describe their intraoperative course and collect data on their postoperative outcomes, including complications. Through this case series, we aim to explore the persisting indications and practicalities of veno-venous bypass in a modern era of adult patients undergoing liver transplantation.
