Abstract
Absence of a normal left extrahepatic portal vein is considered to be a contraindication to left lobe living-related liver transplantation. This report is of a successful case of living- related liver transplantation using a left lobe procured in a patient presenting with an absent horizontal segment of the left extrahepatic vein.
