Simultaneous liver-kidney transplantations (SLKTs) are increasing in incidence, and the en bloc surgical approach is associated with a unique spectrum of vascular complications. En bloc SLKTs have a common arterial supply from the celiac axis and post-operative assessment with Doppler ultrasound can help to localize vascular lesions as either proximal in the shared arterial supply or distal in the organ-specific arteries. Venous complications predominantly include thrombosis or stenosis of the portal vein, hepatic veins, renal vein, or IVC, but have a much lower incidence. Radiologists familiar with the post-operative anatomy and complications can provide meaningful and accurate assessment to help direct clinical care. The purpose of this article is to provide a targeted review of SLKT, review the post-surgical anatomy associated with en bloc SLKT, and review the imaging evaluation of vascular complications associated with SLKT.
肝肾联合移植(SLKT)的发病率正在上升,整块外科手术方法与独特的血管并发症谱相关。整块 SLKT 有来自腹腔干的共同动脉供应,术后多普勒超声检查有助于将血管病变定位在共享动脉供应的近端或器官特异性动脉的远端。静脉并发症主要包括门静脉、肝静脉、肾静脉或 IVC 的血栓形成或狭窄,但发生率要低得多。熟悉术后解剖结构和并发症的放射科医生可以提供有意义和准确的评估,以帮助指导临床治疗。本文的目的是对 SLKT 进行针对性回顾,回顾与整块 SLKT 相关的术后解剖结构,并回顾与 SLKT 相关的血管并发症的影像学评估。
