Doppler ultrasonography in living donor liver transplantation recipients: Intra- and post-operative vascular complications

Figure 11 Portal vein size mismatch in right lobe grafts. A: Post-operative color ultrasound image showing size mismatch between the recipient and donor PVs, a frequent finding in right lobe living donor liver transplantation; B: Color Doppler image showing anastomotic augmentation of the PV velocity (2-fold) compared to the pre-anastomotic velocity (accepted finding in the presence of size mismatch). PV: Portal vein.
