  • Title: Early postoperative bleeding after living donor liver transplantation.
    Author: Hong SS, Kim AY.
    Journal: Abdom Imaging; 2009; 34(3):365-70. PubMed ID: 18483806.
    Abstract:
    We discuss the clinical impacts of early postoperative bleedings after LDLT and CT findings or CT angiographic findings compared with angiography according to the various bleeding causes. Sudden development of hematoma as well as extravasation of contrast material on CT scan are thought to be predictive CT findings of early postoperative bleeding in post-hepatic transplant patients. Careful consideration for these findings can prevent the progression into a catastrophic status that requires surgical management.
