| Popis: | Background/Aims: The purpose of the study was to investigate the incidence of and risk factors for splenic artery aneurysms in liver transplant patients. Methods: Medical records and the pre- and 1-year postoperative angiograms of 337 liver transplant patients were reviewed to assess the presence and characteristics of these aneurysms. Results: Forty-five patients with aneurysms were identified (13%): 41 cases in 242 adult patients (17%) and four (4%) in 95 children ( p p p Conclusions: The incidence of splenic artery aneurysms in liver transplant patients is 13%. They are generally multiple and located in the distal third of the splenic artery. The incidence is higher in women and in patients with parenchymal liver disease and portal hypertension. The incidence of rupture was 4%. |
