@entity715 after liver transplantation remains a major problem which may lead to graft loss and retransplantation. @entity99 were compared in two matched groups of liver grafted @entity1 . In Group I (67 @entity1 ), echodoppler examinations of the graft hepatic artery were carried out after clinical or @entity854 became evident. In Group II (85 @entity1 ), echodoppler examinations were systematically made during the follow-up at 2 weeks, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after liver transplantation. In cases of an abnormal echodoppler examination, arteriography was carried out in order to confirm @entity99 and to perform endoluminal angioplasty. In Group I, echodoppler examinations revealed no arterial blood flow in three cases and @entity99 in two cases. Hepatic artery thromboses were always confirmed by angiography, in the latter two cases, a collateral arterial revascularization of the graft was developed. In this group, two retransplantations, one choledocojejunostomy, and four percutaneous radiological biliary drainages were necessary. In Group II, echodoppler results showing a resistive index below 0.5 and a systolic acceleration time above 0.08 s involved 13 arteriographies. Ten stenoses were diagnosed without any @entity854 . Nine endoluminal angioplasties were made without any complication. There was no recurrence of @entity850 . One @entity2096 was cured by compression. The early and @entity99 after liver transplantation by echodoppler allows treatment by angioplasty in order to prevent @entity715 and reduce retransplantation.
