AbstractThis article aims to assist radiologists in navigating the vascular and biliary anatomy of post-transplant patients, thereby enhancing their diagnostic accuracy and determining the need for potential interventions. We have detailed established methods for anastomosis between the donor and recipient arterial, hepatic venous, portal venous, and biliary systems, while omitting surgical techniques, vascular shunting, and operative procedures, as our primary audience is radiologists. The focus of this review is on inflow and outflow of both blood and bile. Given the numerous possible anastomosis points in hepatic transplantation, familiarizing radiologists with these variations will support their efforts in identifying crucial structures in post-transplant patients.
