    Abstract:
    Arterial complications after liver transplantation are frequent. Hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) is usually associated with biliary complications. Herein we have reported a case of a patient who was admitted for jaundice, itch, and elevated aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels at 6 weeks after liver transplantation. HAT associated with a biloma was diagnosed and an urgent operation performed requiring a new biliodigestive anastomosis technique. Fourteen months after the first transplant, the patient was retransplanted. The operation performed may be an alternative to treat biliary complications due to late HAT.
