Hepatic Artery Pseudoaneurysm After Liver Transplantation - Endovascular Treatment with Stent Graft
| Resumo: | Abstract Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms (HAP) after liver transplantation are rare and associated with high mortality. Different treatment options exist for HAP, which include surgical intervention, radiological coil embolization or stenting and retransplantation. We describe a case of a patient presenting with HAP after a liver transplantation, that was successfully treated with stent grafting, allowing preservation of the arterial flow and minimal risk of organ failure. Endovascular intervention of HAP should be regarded as the treatment of choice, either in symptomatic or in asymptomatic patients. |
