Abstract Liver transplantation (LT) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in patients with unresectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC) is an accepted treatment strategy [1]. Neoadjuvant therapy is associated with an increased risk of arterial and portal complications after LT [1,2]. In most cases, radiation therapy makes the use of the native hepatic artery inadvisable, and an aortic anastomosis is needed, either with or without a graft [2].
