I don't remember this being a frequently reported problem. Our

research posters (, Barb and Pat) have posted abstracts about

hepatic artery thrombosis (this may be what is restricting blood

flow to 's liver).

Tina reported the successful treatment of her husband's thrombosis

in message 80200 (Jan 2006). reported losing his first

transplant due to hepatic artery thrombosis in 1996 in message 81454

(Feb 2006). Narrowing of the anastamosis (joining of the artery) -

as Aubrey wrote in message 82264 (Mar 2006) can be a complication of

surgery.

I hope will have the narrowing of her artery successfully

delt with at MUSC.

Quantell had a late-onset hepatic artery thrombosis, 3 months most-tx.

After a lot of consults, we agreed he wasn't likely to survive re-

transplant. The team tried an innovative approach involving a stent

with an external port, into which gentamicin and colymiacin would be

infused.

Five years later, I'm still doing daily infusions and Q is having the

sent exchanged every 3 months. No doc wants to be the one to say stop,

so we just keep plugging along.
