The diagnostic value of ultrasound viscoelastic imaging for biliary and vascular complications after liver transplantation: a single-center retrospective study
Viscoelasticity values increased in the presence of biliary and vascular complications, likely due to hemodynamic abnormalities and tissue inflammation. These findings suggest that UVI can be a valuable tool for monitoring biliary and vascular complications after LT, providing non-invasive, reliable, and repeated assessments of graft health.
