Objective: To determine the role of Doppler ultrasound in the detection of vascular complications in recipients of living donor liver transplant, keeping contrast-enhanced computerised tomography of abdomen as the gold standard.
Methods: The retrospective study was conducted from February 16 to April 1, 2022, at the Pakistan Kidney and Liver Institute and Research Centre, Lahore, Pakistan, and comprised data of living donor liver transplant recipients who had undergone contrast-enhanced computerised tomography of abdomen within 24 hours of Doppler ultrasound between January 2021 and January 2022. For the diagnosis of hepatic vascular complications, the diagnostic values of Doppler ultrasound parameters were derived by correlating Doppler ultrasound findings with contrast-enhanced computerised tomography results.
