Figure 2 Endovascular stenting of a thrombosed Hemashield graft. (A) Computed tomography performed 1 day after transplant revealed diffuse thrombosis within the interposed graft (yellow arrow) and obstruction of the segment V vein tributary (V5) associated with hepatic venous congestion (green arrow). (B) On the same day, hepatic venography via the right internal jugular vein demonstrated complete occlusion of the graft by thrombus (yellow arrow). (C) A 7×80 mm stent was deployed from V5 to the inferior vena cava (red arrows). (D) Post-stenting venography confirmed restoration of V5 outflow (yellow arrow).
