Abstract

Late hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) is a rare complication after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), conventionally described as occurring more than 30 days after surgery. Only a few reports document its course. In a consecutive series of 634 OLTs (704 grafts), 11 patients (1.7%) had late HAT, diagnosed a median of 6 months (range, 1.8 to 79 months) after OLT. Clinical variables were compared with those of 415 patients without HAT who had a complete database and follow-up, including cytomegalovirus (CMV) surveillance. At presentation, 11 patients had fever, 4 patients had jaundice. Hepatic abscesses were present in 6 patients (3 patients with biliary leak), 4 patients had biliary tree necrosis (2 patients with biliary leak), and 1 patient had no biliary complications. Five patients (45%) underwent accessory hepatic artery anastomosis versus 73 patients (17%) without HAT (P <.05). Five patients (45%) with late HAT had CMV infection versus 14% without HAT (P <.05). Two episodes of late HAT (11 and 79 months) occurred in patients who underwent re-OLT for early HAT (3.9%). Re-OLT was performed in 8 patients a median of 11 days (range, 3 to 37 days) after diagnosis (preceded by intravenous antibiotics and percutaneous drainage)...Continue Reading
