Core Tip	Clinical manifestations of hepatic vein complications are often subtle and nonspecific. Signs may initially present as mild abnormalities in liver function, delayed recovery of liver function, unexplained ascites and perineal edema. Prolonged duration of these complications can lead to hepatic sinusoidal dilatation and eventual liver failure due to prolonged hepatic congestion. Ultrasonography has become the preferred imaging modality for post-liver transplant evaluation. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound, however, by visualizing the filling of contrast agent in the hepatic veins and dynamically displaying blood flow perfusion information in the drainage area, can significantly improve diagnostic confidence and provide additional information beyond routine ultrasound examination.
