We report a case of diffuse arterial vasospasm that developed immediately after anastomosis and was managed with an intra-arterial infusion of lipo-prostaglandin E1 (PGE1).<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>CASE SUMMARY<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>A 57-year-old male with hepatitis B virus-related liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma underwent ABO-incompatible living donor liver transplant. The grafted hepatic artery was first anastomosed to the recipient\u2019s right hepatic artery stump. However, the arterial pulse immediately weakened. Although a new anastomosis was performed using the right gastroepiploic artery, the patient\u2019s arterial pulse rate remained poor. We attempted angiographic intervention immediately after the operation; it showed diffuse arterial vasospasms like \u2018beads on a string\u2019. We attempted continuous infusion of lipo-PGE1 overnight via  an intra-arterial catheter. The next day, arterial flow improved without any spasms or strictures. The patient had no additional arterial complications or related sequelae at the time of writing, 1-year post-liver transplantation.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>CONCLUSION<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>Angiographic evaluation is helpful in cases of repetitive arterial obstruction, and intra-arterial infusion of lipo-PGE1 may be effective in treating diffuse arterial spasms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.12998\/wjcc.v11.i34.8153","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,6]],"date-time":"2023-12-06T02:32:15Z","timestamp":1701829935000},"page":"8153-8157","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Intra-arterial lipo-prostaglandin E1 infusion for arterial spasm in liver transplantation: A case report"],"prefix":"10.12998","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Moonhwan","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hae Won","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chang Jin","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Boram","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yeongsoo","family":"Jo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jai Young","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoo-Seok","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jun Suh","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ho-Seong","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2060","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007890-200103270-00014"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/Lt.20566"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-6143.2008.02541.x"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007890-199701270-00013"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.RVI.0000156441.12230.13"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4254\/wjh.v8.i1.36"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-7091-6232-3_51"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.str.31.2.383"},{"key":"B9","unstructured":"Sinclair S, Levy G.
