This led to the development of new strategies, such as increasing the size of the LL by adding the caudate lobe and the middle hepatic vein (MHV), the application of graft inflow modulation (GIM) techniques to reduce the portal venous flow and pressure in the small graft, the use of right lobe grafts instead of left, and using a dual graft from 2 donors.
