Takotsubo syndrome after liver transplantation: An association with intraoperatively administered epinephrine and fentanyl.

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) can develop after liver transplant (LT), but its predisposing factors are poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to determine if perioperative factors were associated with posttransplant TTS. Adult patients who underwent primary LT between 2006 and 2018 were included.

Intraoperative Hypertension and Thrombocytopenia Associated With Intracranial Hemorrhage After Liver Transplantation.

Background: Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating complication. Although hypertension and thrombocytopenia are well-known risk factors for ICH in the general population, their roles in ICH after liver transplantation (LT) have not been well established.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study and hypothesized that intraoperative hypertension and thrombocytopenia were associated with posttransplant ICH.
