    Abstract:
    Vascular complications constitute a major cause of morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation. They are dominated by arterial complications, the most frequent being hepatic artery thrombosis. Venous complications essentially consist of portal vein thrombosis. The preventive treatment of vascular complications is based on a better understanding of the risk factors. Close cooperation between surgeon, and radiologist is essential for effective surgical correction, which requires a rapid diagnosis and is designed to save not only the patient's life, but also, whenever possible, the liver transplant.
