VOO after LLS split LT with end-to-side triangular anastomosis is an unusual but critical complication leading to graft loss in a quarter of cases. The occurrence of VOO was associated with lower graft weight, re-transplantation, and presence of two hepatic veins. PTA was safe and effective to restore proper venous outflow in most cases.
