Hepatic Vein Flow During Orthotopic Liver Transplantation as Predictive Factor for Postoperative Graft Function

Completed

Conditions studied: Postoperative Graft Function

In brief

Hepatic vein flow (HVF) assessment using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has a potential to predict postoperative graft function in orthotopic liver transplant (OLT). Investigators will measure HVF using TEE and assess the correlation with postoperative graft function indices such as early allograft dysfunction(EAD), prolonged INR, platelet, and total bilirubin.
