AI Article Synopsis
- The study reviewed 39 angiographic assessments from 34 patients who underwent orthotopic liver transplants before 1989, focusing on complications.
- Angiography proved to be the "gold standard" for identifying vascular issues post-transplant, revealing arterial problems in 8.8% of cases.
- Notably, complications related to the portal and inferior caval veins were observed in 3.8% and 7.5% of patients, respectively, while nine patients showed normal results post-surgery.
Article Abstract
39 angiographic studies performed on 34 out of 150 patients following a total of 159 orthotopic liver transplantations until the year 1989 were reviewed in retrospect. All of the studies were carried out within a period of two months after transplantation (1-45 days). Angiographic techniques remain the "gold standard" for the assessment of vascular problems after liver transplantation. Arterial complications were seen in fourteen cases (8.8%); complications confined to the portal and inferior caval veins were found in six (3.8%) and twelve cases (7.5%), respectively. Angiography yielded normal postoperative findings in nine patients.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is associated with poor outcomes after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). We report on six high-risk end-stage liver disease (ESLD) patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with bare metal stents during the preoperative evaluation process. There was no mortality or major adverse cardiac event (MACE) within 90 days of OLT.

Methods: This study involved 146 client-owned dogs with EHPSS. The shunt morphology of EHPSS and IHPB grades was determined using CTA.

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) remains a significant challenge after heart transplantation, necessitating effective surveillance methods. This review centers around the role of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in CAV surveillance, given its unique capabilities to visualize and quantify CAV in comparison with other imaging modalities, including invasive coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound. CCTA has shown good diagnostic performance for detecting and monitoring CAV, exemplified by a higher sensitivity and negative predictive value compared with invasive coronary angiography.

Department of Radiology, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, No.324 Jingwu Road, Jinan, Shandong, 251200, China.
Background: The purpose of our study was to investigate the association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) progression using non-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and CT angiography (CTA).
Methods: Patients with AAA and age- and sex-matched healthy subjects who underwent abdominal CTA and non-enhanced CT examination between January 2015 and January 2023 from four hospitals were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with AAA were divided into progression (growth rate > 10 mL/year) and non-progression groups, as well as those with NAFLD and without NAFLD, based on abdominal CT results.

Background: Gastro-esophageal variceal hemorrhage (GEVH) is one of the major causes of life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding in children. Medical, endoscopic, angiographic, and surgical interventions can be utilized in treatment. In this case report, we describe partial splenic artery embolization for refractory GEVH due to portal vein thrombosis.
