Abstract
We describe a case of living donor liver transplantation with hepatofugal portal flow caused by acute cellular rejection. The reversed portal flow was corrected by splenectomy and ligation of the residual collateral veins. Hepatofugal flow causes ischemic damage to the graft, which does not normalize spontaneously. In this particular case, meticulous Doppler ultrasound examination and prompt response to reversed portal flow salvaged the graft.Entities:
