Utility of liver biopsy in predicting clinical outcomes after percutaneous angioplasty for hepatic venous obstruction in liver transplant patients

Figure 3 Fifty years old woman with elevated LFTs after liver transplantation and biopsy findings of venous outflow obstruction found to have a right hepatic vein stenosis (A, arrow); following angioplasty with a 10 mm × 4 cm balloon (B), there was decrease in pressure gradient from 8 mmHg to 1 mmHg, though the venographic appearance remained the same (C, arrowhead). Late biopsy demonstrated no evidence of venous outflow obstruction and the patient was doing well at 1 year follow-up.
