Updates on liver transplantation: vascular and biliary complications

Abstract

This article uses a practical approach to explain the imaging findings for vascular and biliary complications after total liver transplantation in adults, comparing them to the normal imaging findings after transplantation. It emphasizes the radiologic management of patients who have undergone transplantations and explains the treatment of the different complications by interventional radiology. The information provided comes from the authors' experience and a thorough, up-to-date review of the indexed literature.
