Portal thrombosis is associated with greater operative complexity and rethrombosis, but has no influence on overall morbidity and mortality.

Advanced donor age is associated with lower graft and recipient survival.

Both techniques of clamping are equally effective and feasible for patients with normal liver and undergoing minor hepatectomies. However, in cirrhotic patients selective clamping induces less ischemic injury and should be recommended. Finally, even for minor hepatic resections, central venous pressure, HVPG, and intraoperative blood loss are factors related to morbidity and should be considered.
