Mycotic aneurysm of the hepatic artery (HA) is a rare, unpredictable, and potentially lethal complication of liver transplantation (LT). Pediatric LT is not exempt from it but the related literature is rather scanty. We present our experience with post-LT mycotic aneurysm of the HA in pediatric age, describing four cases occurred with a special focus on the possible risk factors for its development and a proposal for the management of high-risk recipients.
Keywords: hepatic artery; invasive fungal infection; mycotic aneurysm; pediatric liver transplantation.
