Normal Primary Graft Function Despite Early Hepatic Artery Thrombosis After Living-Donor Liver Transplant.

CONCLUSIONS: Early hepatic artery thrombosis is not always associated with graft dysfunction. Retransplant is still necessary due to ischemic cholangiopathy in the long-term follow-up. However, an elective retransplant, which could mean better outcomes, should be preferred instead of an emergency retransplant. PMID: 30346266 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
