Objective 　To explore the methods of hepatic artery reconst ruction with iliac arterial interposition
graf t in orthotopic liver t ransplantation (OL T) and influential factor of relevant complications postoperatively.
Methods 　Analyzed ret rospectively 8 OL T , the hepatic artery reconst ruction with arterial inflow based on recipient
inf rarenal aorta using donor iliac artery graf t tunneled through the t ransverse mesocolon and pancreas. Results 　The
time required for hepatic artery reconst ruction with iliac arterial interposition graf t was 52 - 126 minutes. Among
the 8 patient s , 2 patient s developed postoperative bililary t ract complications , 1 with biliary fistula , 1 with int rahepatic biloma , the others were recovered smoothly and liver function returned to normal about one week af ter liver
t ransplantation. No complications of hepatic artery were observed. Conclusion 　Iliac arterial interpositional graft is an
effective and reliable method of revascularization in liver transplantation when the use of hepatic artery is not possible.
