Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of contrast-enhanced CT and Doppler sonography in the diagnosis of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm after adult living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Because patients with hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm after LDLT can have diverse clinical presentations, routine imaging follow-up is important for early detection. Although Doppler sonography is limited in showing the pseudoaneurysm, contrast-enhanced CT, especially MDCT with CT arteriography, is effective in showing it in most patients.
