Figure 32 Post-operative hepatic artery impending thrombosis in a patient with stable liver enzymes, 3 d post-living donor liver transplantation. A: Doppler US image, showing abnormal arterial waveform with damped irregular systole, absent and reversed diastolic flow (suspicious of impending thrombosis); B: Arterial angiography performed after 2 h showing acute thrombosis and dilatation of the recipient HA proper. Intra-arterial thrombolysis was performed successfully. HA: Hepatic artery.
