case_images: Post-operative imaging exams. Computerized tomography at post-operative day 11 showed the site of arterial anastomosis (white arrow) naturally aligned without redundancy (panel a). Ultrasonography performed for case1 (panel b), case 2 (panel c) and case 3 (panel d) at post-operative day 11 showed resistance index of 0.83, 0.54 and 0.63, respectively. For all cases the arterial flow was normal without evidence of hepatic artery thrombosis.

case_images: Biochemistry values were within a normal range at 3 months post-transplant (Table 2), and an ultrasound scan showed patent graft vessels and no evidence of HAT (Fig. 1, Fig. 2).

case_images: Macroscopic and histologic assessment of atherosclerotic donor liver vessels. panel (a) shows the plaque removed in block from case 3, extending towards the left, right hepatic artery (LHA and RHA, respectively) from the common hepatic artery (CHA) main stem. The atheromasclerotic lesion from case 2 is represented in panel (b), it started at the origin of the celiac trunk extending to just beyond the bifurcation of the CHA and splenic artery (SA). Panel (c) shows cross sections of the arteries from case 2 with macroscopic severe occlusive lesion thickening the vessel's wall. Histological assessment (Panel d) found that the lesion was occluding 75% of the lumen of the artery.
