\"\"This is an international registry that has been created by liver transplant professionals for liver transplant professionals, in order to fill a gap in the knowledge surrounding alternative forms of liver revascularization in the setting of complex portal vein thrombosis.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Portal vein thrombosis can be found in up to a quarter of patients with cirrhosis, and complex portal vein thrombosis in the setting of liver transplantation is a unique and important medical and surgical challenge. Renoportal anastomosis is a primary alternative to standard graft revascularization in these cases, though publications in the medical literature detailing outcomes with this approach are scarce, with <70 cases reported to date worldwide (D\u2019Amico Transpl Int 2019; Bhangui J Hepatol 2019)<\/em>. Information regarding other approaches, such as anastomosis between the left gastric vein, pericholedochal varices, or the inferior vena cava (cavoportal transposition) is even more scarce.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The aim<\/strong> of RP4LT is to create an international, multicenter cohort of patients for the purpose of analyzing indications, techniques, and outcomes in a manner that encourages reporting of all cases and reduces the risk of biased results due to underreporting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All liver transplants centers are encouraged to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Read the study protocol<\/a><\/em> and determine if you might have cases to submit to RP4LT.<\/li>\n
  2. Read the instructions<\/a><\/em> on how to use this platform.<\/li>\n
  3. Contact<\/a><\/em> us to request your credentials to submit cases and join the RP4LT team<\/a><\/em>.<\/li>\n
  4. Fill out a brief email survey regarding general data regarding your center.<\/li>\n
  5. Use your credentials to start submitting cases<\/a><\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
