“…A caval sparing ``piggyback'' technique is used for the caval anastomosis for cadaveric organ and living donor transplantation. 11 12 The recipient inferior vena cava (IVC) remains intact, and the infrahepatic portion of the donor IVC is oversewn. The recipient hepatic veins are joined, forming a wide-mouthed channel to receive the venous outflow of the graft.…”

Liver transplantation now plays a major role in the treatment of end-stage liver disease in children. Reduced-size liver transplant surgical techniques have allowed increasing numbers of children to undergo liver transplantation. As more children are undergoing liver transplantation, there is a growing need for radiologic diagnosis of and intervention in post-transplantation complications in these patients. KEYWORDS: Interventional procedures in infants and children, liver transplantation, complicationsObjectives: On completion of this article, the reader will (1) understand the segmental anatomy of the liver and its relationship to reduced-size liver transplants, (2) be able to categorize the most common complications seen following liver transplantation in children, and (3) know what percutaneous techniques are available to treat these complications.
