<b>Significance of and Contributing Factors for a High Resistive Index on Doppler Sonography of the Hepatic Artery Immediately After Surgery:</b>Prognostic Implications for Liver Transplant Recipients

Abstract

High-resistance flow at the hepatic artery detected on Doppler sonography during the period immediately after transplantation is a frequent finding and is related to older donor age and prolonged period of ischemia. This finding has neither significant clinical repercussions nor prognosis implications for early and long-term follow-up.
