Abstract：We thank Dr. Gastaca et al. for the interest toward our article and the thoughtful comments. We are willing to further discuss the topic of endovascular treatment (EVT) after liver transplantation (LT). Congratulation to their successful experience of EVT. As Dr. Gastaca emphasized, most of the transplant centers, even important centers, are hesitant to perform EVT early after LT [1–3]. Their team demonstrated successful experience of EVT treating hepatic artery thrombosis and stenosis during very early period with high patency rates and absence of major complications [4] . We strongly agree with Dr. Gastaca’s attitude and admire the novel approach.
