Abstract

Radiology has undoubtedly contributed to the development and success of liver transplantation. LDLT requires intensive radiological evaluation, each imaging modality provides a range of information and more than one modality is often needed to obtain the pre-surgical information and to detect intra or post operative complications. MSCT and MSCTA are the efficient examinations used in the diagnosis of post-transplantation vascular complications involving the hepatic artery, portal vein and hepatic veins when Doppler studies are inconclusive. It can be also used in biliary complications to detect biloma extents and biliary leak as well as help to provide an axis of intervention for biloma drainage. This study was conducted on a heterogeneous sample of 30 recipients who underwent adult-adult LDLT with special focus on the post-operative MSCT and MSCTA results. Different post-operative complications (including vascular, parenchymal and biliary complications) were traced. With the advanced techniques of multi-slice CT, we were able to prove that MSCT and MSCTA of the liver is a practical non-invasive method for detecting hepatic vascular and biliary complications as well as parenchymal lesions after liver transplantation giving a chance for proper and swift intervention for the urgent cases.
