[Angiography following liver transplantation].

39 angiographic studies performed on 34 out of 150 patients following a total of 159 orthotopic liver transplantations until the year 1989 were reviewed in retrospect. All of the studies were carried out within a period of two months after transplantation (1-45 days). Angiographic techniques remain the "gold standard" for the assessment of vascular problems after liver transplantation. Arterial complications were seen in fourteen cases (8.8%); complications confined to the portal and inferior caval veins were found in six (3.8%) and twelve cases (7.5%), respectively. Angiography yielded normal postoperative findings in nine patients.
