Current Endovascular Management of Arterial Complications After Pediatric Liver Transplantation in a Tertiary Center.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Pediatric liver transplant surgery is burdened by arterial complications whose endovascular treatment is not standardized. We report the outcomes of a cohort of pediatric recipients with hepatic artery complications treated by endoluminal procedures.

Materials and methods

From December 2019 to December 2022, consecutive transplanted pediatric patients who underwent endovascular treatment of hepatic artery complications were reviewed. The analysis included: type of complication (occlusion, stenosis, pseudoaneurysm); onset (acute =  < 15 days, subacute = 15-90 days, late =  > 90 days); endovascular technique (angioplasty, stenting); complications and outcomes. Technical success was defined as the opacification of the hepatic artery at the final angiogram with < 50% res
