Biliary complications secondary to late hepatic artery thrombosis in adult liver transplant patients

Abstract: Biliary complications (BC) are the usual presentation of late hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) of the liver graft. Our aim was to study the clinical features and outcome of BC secondary to HAT compared to BC which occurred in liver transplant (LT) patients with patent vessels. We present a retrospective study of 224 LTs performed in 204 patients between 1988 and 1996. The mean recipient x s age was 51 years. A choledochocholedochostomy without T-tube was used as biliary reconstruction in most cases (67%); in 12… Show more

“…[1][2][3] HAT carries a 30% to 50% incidence of eventual liver failure and represents >50% of all arterial complications in OLT. [4][5][6][7][8][9] Developing HAT significantly increases a recipient's morbidity and mortality and may require retransplantation in up to 75% of cases. 10 Close surveillance is essential to identify HAS postoperatively, because if left untreated, HAS has up to a 65% chance of progressing to HAT #6 months.…”
