Abstract

Liver transplantation is an established mode of treatment of end stage liver disease. One of the major causes of post-operative complications is vascular anastomotic stenosis which include hepatic vein, inferior venacava or portal vein stenosis. Incidence of vascular complications is reported to be higher in living donor versus cadaveric liver transplants. We encountered a patient with hepatic venous outflow tract obstruction, where hepatic vein had been previously stented, but the patient continued to have symptoms due to additional IVC obstruction. The patient required double balloon dilatation of the IVC simultaneously from internal jugular vein and inferior venacava.
