Abstract

Our study includes 15 posttransplant angiographies in 10 patients after liver transplantation and 3 cases with embolisation of the splenic artery because of a splenohepatic steal syndrome. The results of the angiographies are demonstrated and discussed. In cases with non-conclusive ultrasound or CT findings, angiography is the method of choice, if an arterial anastomotic complication or a chronical rejection is suspected.
