The clinical course of five patients with partial dearterialization of their hepatic allografts is described. One patient died and three others suffered serious morbidity as a direct or indirect result of this complication. Partial dearterialization of the liver allograft is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication for which preservation of the complete hepatic arterial supply is important, even if this requires reconstruction of the aberrant vessels.
