Final Pr. ID: Poster #: SCI-008
Doppler ultrasound (DUS) is routinely used to assess graft status after liver transplantation (LT). Although early post-surgical assessment is encouraged, the exact prognostic value of DUS parameters is unknown.
The purpose of this study was to determine the prognostic value of DUS parameters obtained in the immediate postoperative period.

Final Pr. ID: Poster #: SCI-033
Biliary stenosis continues to be an important source of morbidity in pediatric liver transplantation. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) with cholangioplasty and placement of an internal/external biliary drainage catheter has been the standard of care for biliary stenosis at our institution for over twenty years. The purpose of this article is to present the largest and most comprehensive pediatric series to date detailing the percutaneous management of liver transplants complicated by biliary stenosis.

Pediatric liver transplant (PLT) is an established treatment for many hepatic conditions in children. In recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of PTL associated with an improved survival. In children however, due to the complex surgical procedures and peculiar hemodynamic physiology there is also an increased risk for vascular and biliary complications. High resolution ultrasonography (US) is the modality of choice to evaluate and monitor the evolution of pediatric liver graft. This exhibit intends to illustrate fellows and residents with the US characteristics of the normal hepatic anatomy, the normal early and late US appearances of the graft, and the US features of complications that may compromise graft’s survival.

Proficiency in intra-abdominal pediatric vascular ultrasound is essential for all pediatric radiologists. Command of spectral Doppler findings is vital in identifying early abdominal vascular pathology, particularly in the evaluation of pediatric patients with liver disease or following orthotopic liver transplantation. The following is a condensed review of normal and abnormal abdominal vascular ultrasound with emphasis on liver disease and the posttransplant pediatric patient. Read More
