Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the radiological graft patency at 14 days between polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) vs. Polyethylene Terephthalate (Dacron) reconstructed neo-MHV following right lobe LDLT.Timepoint: 14 days from day of surgery and 90 days from day of surgery | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare the primary patency of PTFE vs Dacron reconstructed neo MHV at 90 days following Right lobe LDLT.Timepoint: 90 days from day of surgery;To compare the postoperative outcomes of recipients with patent & thrombosed neo MHV grafts. This will include: a) For patent grafts only - early graft dysfunction, Small for size syndrome, Primary graft non-function b) Length of icu stay c) Hospital stay in the immediate post transplant period d) Sepsis-related early mortality (mortality secondary to sepsis within 90 days post-transplant) e) All-cause mortality at 90 days; immediate complications (vascular & immunological) f) Interventions like re-exploration & percutaneous drainage immediately post-transplant.Timepoint: 90 days from day of surgery | — |
