Abstract

We report a case of 49-years-old man with hepatocellular carcinoma treated by hepatic transplantation. In the early post-transplant period severe hepatic dysfunction was detected. Because of the possible vascular origin of the graft lesion, an angiography procedure was performed and hepatic artery thrombosis was identified cholangiography through a T tube showed a large biliary cavity. We analyze the biliary tract reconstruction after liver transplantation, its risk factors and the management.
