Abstract

Liver transplantation is a successful therapeutic option for patients with multiple irreversible acute and chronic liver diseases.
Complications of liver transplantation can be divided into mechanical and non mechanical complications. During liver transplantation four donor structures must be reconnected sequentially from posterior to anterior to the recipient counter part, which are the retrohepatic inferior vena cava (IVC), the main portal vein (MPV), the hepatic artery, and the extrahepatic bile duct. Mechanical complications are encountered related to these structures.
The interventional radiologist plays a critical role in the treatment of mechanical complications. Percutaneaus intervention has been strongly advocated and more recently accepted as the initial treatment for many transplant-related anastomotic abnormalities
