Abstract
Interventional radiology is a key component of the multidisciplinary team that is required for a successful liver transplant program, as it provides safe, effective, and minimally invasive management of transplant-related complications. Biliary complications remain highly prevalent among transplant recipients, and radiologic techniques can improve graft and patient survival in this population. Such techniques can serve as definitive, first-line therapies in some cases and as adjuncts to multidisciplinary approaches in others. This article reviews vascular and nonvascular radiologic techniques for managing transplant-related biliary complications.Entities:
