Description
Summary:Liver transplantation offers patients with terminal liver disease an effective treatment accompanied by excellent quality of life, but it also has complications, such as hepatic artery thrombosis and development of ischemic cholangiopathy, described in 3%–17% of patients.

The objective of this report was to analyze the efficacy of the treatment they received in relation to the development of ischemic cholangiopathy and a comparative survival analysis and to propose prophylactic measures for high-risk patients.
