Abstract We read with great interest the recent article by Zhu et al. [1]. In the study, the authors analyzed the outcomes of 26 patients diagnosed with hepatic artery occlusion (HAO) and treated with an endovascular approach (EVT) within the first 30 days after orthotopic liver transplantation (LT). The median interval from LT to EVT was 7 days, most patients were treated with angioplasty and only two (7.7%) needed stent placement. The authors should be congratulated as they achieved a 100% of success rate with an 80.8% of 1-year survival rate.
