Prognostic value of ultrasound in early arterial complications post liver transplant

Figure 3 A 46-year-old male patient with decompensated cirrhosis due to hepatitis B underwent liver transplantation. On postoperative day 1, ultrasound showed no blood flow signals in the hepatic artery, followed by hepatic artery angiography and thrombosis. A: Ultrasound showed intramural-like echoes floating in the proper hepatic artery (arrow); B: Ultrasound showed blood flow in the true lumen of the proper hepatic artery (arrow), with no obvious blood flow signals in the false lumen. Then, the patient underwent hepatic artery stent graft implantation with satisfactory clinical results.
