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.
