Changes of duplex parameters and splenic size in liver transplant recipients during a long period of observation

Table 5 Reasons of vascular complications after liver transplantation

Arterial system
Reperfusion damage	(n = 2)
Thrombosis of the celiac trunk	(n = 1)
Thrombosis of the hepatic artery1	(n = 1)
Dissection of the common hepatic artery	(n = 1)
Unknown	(n = 1)
Portal system
Over average length of the portal anastomosis	(n = 3)
Intraoperative thrombectomy2	(n = 2)
Intraoperative thrombectomy of malign thrombus3	(n = 1)
Leakage of the biliary anastomosis and consequently	(n = 1)
Systemic infection leading to portal thrombosis

¹The patient suffered from fulminant acute hepatitis A with thrombosis of the arterial and portal vascular system at the time of OLT.

²The patients had Budd-Chiari syndrome as an underlying liver disease.

³In this particular case, infiltration of a tumor thrombus in the portal venous trunk was observed which led to portal vein stenosis after OLT.
