Acute hepatic vein thrombosis after liver transplantation in a child with biliary atresia and absent inferior vena cava.
Stenosis of the hepatic venous outflow anastomosis is rare after liver transplantation. Hepatic venous outflow obstruction affects 5.1% to 7% of transplanted patients. Clinical findings among children include massive ascites and abdominal pain and laboratory findings demonstrate altered liver function tests and coagulopathy. In this article, we report a case of hepatic venous thrombosis occurring 22 days after living-related liver transplantation. The patient was treated with hepatic venoplasty and stent implantation.
