Abstract
Multiple intrahepatic arterio-portal fistulas are rare. The majority are isolated and occur secondary to liver trauma including iatrogenic interventions such as liver biopsy. Post–liver transplantation 18 cases have been reported, all secondary to an interventional radiological procedure. We report multiple bi-lobar arterio-portal fistulas in a liver transplant recipient recognized 1 year after transplantation. The donor died due to intracerebral bleeding following blunt head and abdominal trauma. In the present case, the etiology is not very clear. The patient was managed conservatively and to date has not required intervention.
