Post-transplant hepatic complications: Imaging findings

Abstract: KEYWORDSHepatic-transplant; Diagnostic imaging; Color-Doppler US; x-ray; CT; MRI.Abstract Transplantation is considered definitive therapy for acute or chronic irreversible pathologies of the liver, and the increased survival rates are mainly due to improved immunosuppressive therapies and surgical techniques. However, early diagnosis of possible graft dysfunction is crucial to liver graft survival. Diagnostic imaging plays an important role in the evaluation of the liver before and after transplant and in the… Show more

“…be useful during insertion of a TIPS (transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt) [23]. Familiarity with hepatic vein variants is also important for surgical treatment of hepatic disease, especially liver transplantation, where it is essential for preoperative workup and postoperative follow-up of the recipient as well as for assessment of potential donors [7,24,25].…”

“…No entanto, problemas como os efeitos colaterais dos medicamentos imunossupressores e o risco de complicações pós-cirúrgicas, como a possibilidade do não funcionamento do enxerto, as rejeições e as tromboses vasculares, podem desencadear no paciente uma série de fatores estressores (TELLES-CORREIA et al, 2006). O receptor de transplante pode apresentar complicações, as quais podem se manifestar a qualquer momento do tratamento (DRUDI et al, 2007). As complicações imediatas dependem da qualidade do enxerto, do estado de saúde do receptor previamente ao transplante e da ocorrência de complicações intraoperatórias, tais como: tempo de isquemia prolongado e lesões decorrentes da perfusão do enxerto.…”
