- Abstract
- Background/Purpose In living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT), liver volume assessment is a mandatory step in determining donor appropriateness. This study aimed to compare reliability and reproducibility between two major methods to define virtual hepatectomy plane, based on Cantlie's line (CTV-Cantlie) and portal vein territorialization (CTV-PVT) for right-lobe graft weight estimation in LDLT. Methods A total of 188 donors who underwent preoperative CT scans were included. The liver was divided into right and left lobes using CTV-Cantlie and CTV-PTV measurements by two readers. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to determine interreader variability of hepatic weight measured using each CTV method. Intraoperative graft weight (IOW) was used as reference standard of right-lobe graft weight. Pearson correlation test was performed to determine correlation coefficients between presumed graft weight by each CTV method and IOW. Results Intraclass correlation coefficients for total liver weight were roughly equivalent between the two CTV methods (CTV-Cantlie: 0.965 [95% CI, 0.954-0.974], CTV-PVT: 0.977 [0.970-0.983]). However, ICCs of right-and left-lobe weights between two readers were higher with CTV-PVT (0.997 and 0.850) than with CTV-Cantlie (0.829 and 0.668). The IOW was 716.0 +/- 162.0 g. Correlation coefficients between presumed graft weight by CTV-Cantlie or CTV-PVT and IOW were 0.722 and 0.807, respectively (both P < .001). Conclusions For estimation of the right-lobe graft weight in LDLT, CTV-PVT may provide higher reliability and reproducibility than CTV-Cantlie.
