Diagnosis and percutaneous interventional management of hepatic venous outflow obstruction after adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation: Two cases report and literatures review / 中国介入影像与治疗学

ABSTRACT

Hepatic venous outflow obstruction is a severe complication after liver transplantation, often occurs after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). In this article, the clinical and imaging data of two patients with hepatic venous outflow obstruction after LDLT were analyzed retrospectively, and the related literatures were reviewed to explore the diagnosis and the interventional therapy of this complication. Hepatic venous outflow obstruction can be confirmed with percutaneous transhepatic venography. Percutaneous interventional managements, including balloon angioplasty and stent implantation are safe, easy and effective for the treatment of hepatic venous outflow obstruction after adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation (A-A LDLT).
