Abstract
A case of transplant hepatic artery thrombosis treated with thrombolysis and vascular stenting is presented. Stenting was complicated by hepatic artery rupture necessitating emergent stent graft placement. Hepatic artery occlusion in a liver transplant often leads to biliary complications such as ischemic cholangiopathy, biliary necrosis, cholangitis, biloma formation, intrahepatic abscesses, and liver failure. Prompt recognition and appropriate treatment of hepatic artery thrombosis are necessary to avoid graft failure and possible death.
