title: Feasibility and effectiveness of using coronary stents in the treatment of hepatic artery stenoses after orthotopic liver transplantation: preliminary report.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Our aim is to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy, and patency of using coronary stents for the treatment of hepatic artery stenosis after liver transplantation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Hepatic artery stenosis after liver transplantation can be treated using coronary stents. The low rate of complication, high technical success, and 1-year patency rates are encouraging.
