Brief Summary   This is a prospective randomized control trial in adult living donor liver transplant where right lobe graft is used. The anterior sectoral venous outflow is reconstructed to form the neo-middle hepatic vein (MHV). The reconstruction of the MHV can either be with the Portal Vein (PV) from the recipient explanted liver, allogenous veins or synthetic grafts. This trial iis to compare the outcomes of PTFE graft vs PV for the neo-MHV reconstruction in term of neo- MHV patency, early graft dysfunction, 90-day mortality and other parameters.
