Abstract

Liver transplantation is an accepted and successful mode of treatment for pediatric end-stage liver disease. Living related liver transplatation(LRLT) in child has certain potential advantages, such as short cold ischemic time, accurate graft size and vessel diameter match based on elective preoperative preparations. Recently, introduction of microvasular surgery technique to hepatic artery reconstruction has been used, but still remained the possibility of hepatic artery thrombosis. Herein, We report a LRLT case, which showed hepatic artery stenosis postoperatively, successfully dilated by ballon angioplasty technique.
