An increased number of transplant centers now actively perform deceased-donor as well as living-related liver transplants. Although postoperative vascular and nonvascular complications after liver transplant have been well documented, early diagnosis and intervention are important to increase graft and recipient survival. With improvements in interventional radiologic techniques and a multidisciplinary approach to liver transplant, management of complications by percutaneous and endovascular techniques is possible with less morbidity and mortality. This article outlines the recent developments in, and applications of, interventional radiologic techniques in liver transplant patients.
