| Core Tip |
Percutaneous angioplasty and/or stent placement is the first-line of treatment in patients with hepatic venous obstruction (HVOO) after liver transplantation. Recognizing recurrence of HVOO after percutaneous treatment solely based on clinical, laboratory or imaging findings is difficult, and there is not a clear consensus regarding which measure provides the best or “gold standard” assessment for response to treatment. We report the utility of biopsy in predicting outcomes of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in patients with HVOO after liver transplantation. Specifically, we have found that patients without HVOO on a liver biopsy 60 d or more after PTA had no recurrence of HVOO on long-term follow-up.
