Abstract
The arrival of new surgical transplantation techniques, such as split living donor or auxiliary liver transplantation, have increased the incidence of vascular and biliary complications. The causes, symptoms, and diagnostic modalities of arterial, portal caval, and biliary complications are detailed. Interventional techniques, such as balloon angioplasty and stent placement in the arterial and portal tree, as well as biliary interventional techniques, are discussed.
