Abstract

Liver transplantation is becoming increasingly common in the United States, with very favorable 1- and 5-year survival rates. With increasing long-term survival rates, postprocedural vascular complications can occur with increased frequency. Familiarity with posttransplant vascular anatomy is essential for interventional radiologists dealing with this patient population. This article discusses the posttransplant venous, arterial, and biliary anatomy and the implications for minimally invasive interventions.
