Abstract
A preoperatively undetected spontaneous mesocaval shunt lead to impairment of organ function after liver transplantation. Ischemia of the graft due to partial hepatofugal portal flow was demonstrated by color-flow Doppler sonography and angiography. The successful catheter embolization of the mesocaval shunt via a transhepatic approach is presented.
