Methods  One hundred and twenty cases in preliminary experiment using modified Kamada “two-cuff” method of orthotopic liver transplantation were retrospectively analyzed.
Results  The causes of failure included: lengthening of anhepatic phase (66 cases), failed anastomosis of suprahepatic inferior vena cava (61 cases), failed anastomosis of infrahepatic inferior vena cava (17 cases), failed anastomosis of portal vein (12 cases), unsatisfied anesthesia (8 cases).
