The hepatic arteries (HAs) in a hepatic graft are usually reconstructed using the recipient's left or right HAs in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). There have been no apparent selection criteria concerning which of the recipient's HAs should be used. This study retrospectively investigated whether the selection of left or right HA for HA reconstruction affects the outcomes of right lobe LDLT (RL-LDLT).
