Abstract

There are various uncommon gastrointestinal complications, as liver transplantation becomes increasingly popular as the only curative method for patients with end-stage liver diseases. It is important for radiologists evaluating postoperative liver transplantation recipients to have a perspective on the possible gastrointestinal complications after liver transplantation and their radiologic features for early detection and early treatment. This article illustrates radiologic findings and clinical features of various uncommon gastrointestinal complications after liver transplantation.
