Intensive Doppler Ultrasonography for Early Detection of Hepatic Artery Thrombosis After Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation.

CONCLUSIONS Subsequent CTA gives valid information on occluded arteries and associated findings, which impact decision-making and are correlated with patient outcome. Our protocol of DUS has high sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy for use in in eHAT patients with partial occlusion, and it can be applied for IVT treatment, avoiding the need for reoperation and preventing long-term biliary complications.
