Pleural effusion following liver transplantation
Radiology
|December 1, 1985
Abstract:
The postoperative chest radiographs of 11 patients who underwent 14 orthotopic liver transplantations were reviewed. Pleural effusions occurred on the right side in all patients and on the left side in four. The effusions were unrelated to primary cardiovascular disease and usually asymptomatic. They were transudates and resolved spontaneously.
