Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Transplant Surgery
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Liver transplantation is a primary treatment for end-stage liver disease.
  • Significant advancements have reduced perioperative risks and improved graft/patient survival rates.

Observation:

  • Potential life-threatening complications can arise in the immediate postoperative period.
  • These include primary nonfunction, graft dysfunction, hepatic artery thrombosis, and portal vein thrombosis.

Findings:

  • Primary nonfunction necessitates retransplantation for survival.
  • Hepatic artery thrombosis may be managed with surgical reconstruction.
  • Portal vein thrombosis can lead to sepsis and complicate the postoperative course.

Implications:
