Figure 3. Schematics of donor livers. (A) liver with replaced right hepatic artery (RRHA); (B) liver with RRHA and replaced left hepatic artery (RLHA). A piece of intravenous tube as a bridge from splenic artery (splenic A) to superior mesenteric artery (SMA) creates a single arterial cannulation for normothermic machine perfusion. Arrow points are the direction of arterial blood flow.
