- Does Variant Hepatic Artery Anatomy in a Liver Transplant Recipient Increase the Risk of Hepatic Artery Complications After Transplantation?

TABLE 1 Cause of End-Stage Liver Disease in 84 Liver Transplant Recipients

Note.—Data are numbers of patients. Parentheses indicate number of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

^a Erythropoietic protoporphyria, polycystic liver disease, and Wilson's disease.

TABLE 2 Types of Hepatic Artery Anatomy in 84 Adult Liver Transplant Recipients

Note.—LHA = left hepatic artery, LGA = left gastric artery, RHA = right hepatic artery, SMA = superior mesenteric artery, GDA = gastroduodenal artery, CHA = common hepatic artery.

^a Right and left hepatic arteries arise normally from a single proper hepatic artery, which in turn arises from a single common hepatic artery, which arises normally from celiac artery.

TABLE 3 Hepatic Artery Complications After Liver Transplantation

Note.—NA = not applicable, PTA = percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, LHA = left hepatic artery, RHA = right hepatic artery.

^a Between liver transplantation and hepatic artery complication.

TABLE 4 Hepatic Artery Anatomy and Posttransplantation Complications

Note.—Data are numbers of patients. Higher rate of complications in patients with variant anatomy was statistically significant (p

TABLE 5 Incidence of Hepatic Artery Complications After Transplantation: Combination of Donor and Recipient Hepatic Artery Anatomy

Note.—Data are rates of hepatic artery complications (number of complications/total number of patients in each category). One of 15 donors with variant hepatic artery was excluded because patient underwent aortic jump graft reconstruction. Rate of hepatic artery complications in donor variant hepatic artery was not statistically significant (p = 0.330).

TABLE 6 Diameter of the Distal Common Hepatic Artery

Note.—Data are mean ± SD.

^a The mean diameter of the distal common hepatic artery was significantly smaller in the variant hepatic artery group than in the classic hepatic artery group (p

^b The mean diameter of the distal common hepatic artery was significantly smaller in patients who developed posttransplantation hepatic artery complications than in those who did not (p
