Teaching Points: - Comprehend the normal anatomy of the transplanted liver; - Understand radiologic findings as an important tool to diagnosis liver transplant complications so as to define the best therapeutic approach. - Recognize that nowadays, transplanted patients are evaluated in several medical services and therefore, all radiologists need to know their possible complications. - Review common and uncommon imaging findings of liver transplant complications, namely those related to: hepatic artery, portal vein, inferior vena cava and bile duct.

1 – Hepatic artery: stenosis; thrombosis; pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistulas. 2 – Portal vein: stenosis; thrombosis. 3 – Inferior vena cava and hepatic veins: stenosis; thrombosis. 4 – Bile duct: stenosis; obstruction; leak. 5 – Others: hematoma; collections, hepatocellular carcinoma, intestinal occlusion.
