Radiologic evaluation of portal steal phenomenon in recipients of liver transplantation

Bohyun Kim et al. Acta Radiol. 2016 Aug.

Abstract

It is important to maintain adequate portal flow and to prevent the detrimental effect of portosystemic shunt in recipients following liver transplantation. The purpose of this article is to present a comprehensive review of portosystemic shunts and to illustrate such phenomenon demonstrated on radiologic studies such as Doppler ultrasound, computed tomography, and portogram. It is important for radiologists to be aware of such phenomenon not only in preoperative evaluation of the recipients but also in postoperative screening to detect recurrence of the phenomenon.

Keywords: Doppler ultrasound; Liver; computed tomography (CT); transplantation.
