The main hepatic artery related complications were hepatic artery thrombosis and stenosis. The incidence of the vascular complications was 6.54%, and the mortality rate was 85.7%.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The main influence factors of vascular complications were the quality of the donor organ artery and the reconstruction way of donor-recipient artery.
