The obstruction of the inferior vena cava was about 6cm in length by cavography.
Cavoatrial bypass grafting was successfully performed with a 16mm ring reinforced expanded polytetrafluoroethylene graft, which ran behind the caudate lobe of the liver and connected to the right atrium via right pleural cavity.
This may be the first report of the posterior route of the hepatic caudate lobe in cavoatrial bypass grafting in Japanese and English literature.
