Abstract
ACOSTA-MARTINEZ, Jesús; GUERRERO-DOMINGUEZ, Rosana; LOPEZ-HERRERA RODRIGUEZ, Daniel and LOPEZ-SANCHEZ, Marta. Recurrent hepatic artery thrombosis in three instances of liver transplant in a single patient: Case report. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2015, vol.43, n.3, pp.237-240. ISSN 0120-3347.
Introduction: Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is currently the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage liver disease. Vascular complications can trigger a failure of treatment, so it must be watched closely. Clinical, diagnostic evaluation and interventions: We report the case of a patient taken three times to liver transplantation due to recurrent hepatic artery thrombosis. The perfusion defect persisted after the third transplant, although the short-term course was favourable. Conclusion: Hepatic artery thrombosis varies in its clinical presentation, but it usually requires early and aggressive management.
