Splenic artery aneurysms are a rare but potentially fatal complication after liver transplantation. We report three cases presenting in a 12-month period in adult patients who underwent transplantation for chronic liver disease. Doppler ultrasound of the splenic artery should be performed in all patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension who are being assessed for liver transplantation. The aneurysm can be ligated at the time of transplantation.
脾动脉瘤是肝移植后一种罕见但可能致命的并发症。我们报告了3例在12个月内出现的病例，这些成年患者因慢性肝病接受了移植手术。对于所有正在接受肝移植评估的肝硬化和门静脉高压患者，均应进行脾动脉多普勒超声检查。动脉瘤可在移植时结扎。
