Core Tip
Core Tip: This research investigated the related risk factors and ultrasound features of hepatic artery occlusion (HAO) following liver transplantation. It highlighted that ultrasound measure parameters, such as resistance index, peak systolic velocity, and portal vein velocity, could effectively predict the development of HAO. Furthermore, clinical risk factors, including complex hepatic artery reconstruction, high gamma-glutamyltransferase level, and so on, also increased HAO occurrence. These findings highlight the key role of selecting and increasing the frequency of ultrasound monitoring to mitigate risk and optimize prognosis, offering valuable insights for clinicians in managing this complex complication effectively.
