Description
Summary:[2] Activation of coagulation system, stasis-induced inferior vena cava and portal vein clamping, massive blood transfusion, and venovenous bypass predispose to thrombus formation after reperfusion. A thrombus was detected in the right atrium, right main pulmonary artery, left main pulmonary artery bifurcation, and the distal of vena cava inferior starting from the main iliac vein which was allowing to flow in chest computed tomography [Figure 1]a. Transthoracic echocardiography after LT that is done 6 months ago was normal. Systemic arterial pressure, central venous pressure, pulmonary artery catheterization (PAC), and TEE are the parts of hemodynamic monitorization.
