Assessment of vascular and biliary complications after liver transplantation: imaging with multidetector computed tomography angiography (MDCT-A), doppler us and contrast-enhanced…

Objectives: Early complications after liver transplantation usually occur in the vascular compartment (thrombosis, pseudoaneurysm, vasospasm of the hepatic arteries, portal hypertension, portal stenosis, hepatic veins stenosis or congestion) and in the intrahepatic biliary system. The early detection of blood flow through the liver after transplantation affects prognosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Doppler US, CEUS and MDCT-A for the diagnosis of complications in the hepatic vessels and bile ducts. Methods: In the early postoperative follow-up of liver transplant recipients, 20 pat…
