Abstract
The development of a fistula between the intestinal tract and the portal vein has been reported as a complication of trauma, inflammation, and surgical intervention. It has not, however, been specifically reported in a patient who has undergone orthotopic liver transplantation. We recently had the opportunity to study a patient who sustained this rare complication.
