However, biopsy can cause life-threating complications. There is limited knowledge about efficacy and complications of liver biopsy after liver transplant. Our aim was to evaluate the risk and benefit of liver biopsy after liver transplant and quality of biopsy specimens. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all liver biopsies performed after liver transplant between January 2000 and October 2014. All patients were monitored for minimum 24 hours after biopsy. Results: We performed 245 liver biopsies in 159 liver transplant patients. Fifteen biopsies (6%) were nondiagnostic. In the samples, there were 102 cases (41%) of acute rejection, 79 cases (35%) of cholangitis, and 49 cases (20%) of cholestasis observed. Complications after biopsy were seen in 23 patients (9%) and biopsies. There were 7 patients who had severe abdominal pain followed by fever. We diagnosed 4 patients who had intercostal/subcapsular bleeding and 12 patients who had vasovagal reaction. All patients were treated with analgesic agents and monitored for 24 hours. No blood transfusion or surgery was required. Conclusions: Liver biopsy after liver transplant is an invasive diagnostic tool for liver pathology. However, it can be used safely in experienced centers.Item Ultrasound-Guided Brachiocephalic Vein Catheterization in Infants Weighing Less than Five Kilograms(2015) Aytekin, Cuneyt; Ozyer, Umut; Harman, Ali; Boyvat, Fatih; 0000-0002-4300-009X; 0000-0002-7386-7110; 0000-0001-5134-168X; 26044899; F-4230-2011; AAK-9071-2021; K-9824-2013Purpose: To describe our experience with the use of ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachiocephalic vein approach for central vein catheterization in infants weighing less than 5 kg. Methods: A retrospective review was performed for infants who underwent ultrasound-guided central vein catheterization from January 2012 to November 2014. Infants weighing less than 5 kg with supraclavicular brachiocephalic vein access were included in the study. Indications for central venous access, venous access side, catheter type and complications were evaluated. Results: Thirty-four catheterizations in 34 infants weighing from 1.5 to 4.9 kg (median 3.48 kg) were included in the study (aged 11 days to 7 months and 10 days, weight range 1.5 to 4.9 kg). Technical success rate was 97% (33 of 34 infants). No technical or clinical major complications were observed. Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided supraclavicular brachiocephalic vein access is a favorable alternative for central venous catheterization in low-weight infants with regard to high technical success rate and absence of major complications.Item Anatomic Variations of The Celiac Trunk and Hepatic Arterial System with Digital Subtraction Angiography(2014) Zagyapan, Ragiba; Kurkcuoglu, Ayla; Bayraktar, Ahmet; Pelin, Can; Aytekin, Cuneyt; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0901-8883; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5134-168X; 25910286; AEJ-3035-2022Background/Aims: Anatomical variation of the abdominal arteries is important. Historic and modern anatomists, radiologists, as well as surgeons have reported and accumulated anatomical variations with a morphological and clinical interest. During graft procurement and reconstruction, accidental injury of the hepatic artery is more likely in the presence of hepatic arterial variation, which can be a common clinical entity. During cadaveric dissection and diagnostic radiological imaging, various types of vascular anomalies are frequently found in human abdominal viscera, especially the celiac trunk. The aim of the present study is to determine anatomical variations in the celiac trunk and hepatic arterial system. Materials and Methods: Digital subtraction angiography data were collected from 152 consecutive donor patients (103 males and 49 females, aged between 6 and 77 years) who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation. Results: We examined the anatomy of the celiac trunk in a total of 152 consecutive patients. In total, 62.5% (95/152) of patients showed the classical trifurcation of the celiac trunk. Variant right hepatic arteries arising from the superior mesenteric artery were observed in 17.8% (27/152), the hepatic arteries arising from the left gastric artery were found in 13.1% (20/152), and common hepatic arteries arising from the superior mesenteric artery were observed in 6.6% (10/152) of patients. Conclusion: These data are useful for planning and performing surgical and radiological procedures of the upper abdomen.Item Successful Percutaneous Management of Recurrent Sclerosing Cholangitis After Liver Transplantation with Multiple Intrahepatic Plastic Biliary Stent Placement with Only One Access(2016) Boyvat, Fatih; Aytekin, Cuneyt; Akdur, Aydincan; Moray, Gokhan; Haberal, Mehmet; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8726-3369; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2498-7287; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3462-7632; F-4230-2011; AAA-3068-2021; AAE-1041-2021; AAJ-8097-2021Item Simultaneous Percutaneous Large Profile Multiple Plastic Stents for Biliary Anastomotic Strictures After Liver Transplantation(2016) Boyvat, Fatih; Harman, Ali; Akdur, Aydincan; Aytekin, Cuneyt; Kirnap, Mahir; Moray, Gokhan; Haberal, Mehmet; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7386-7110; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8726-3369; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2498-7287; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3462-7632; F-4230-2011; K-9824-2013; AAA-3068-2021; AAH-9198-2019; AAE-1041-2021; AAJ-8097-2021Item Percutaneous Transhepatic Tips for Budd-Chiari Syndrome: Direct Simultaneous Puncture of Portal Vein and Inferior Vena Cava(2018) Boyvat, Fatih; Harman, Ali; Soy, Ebru H.

Axillary artery bleeding is associated with a high mortality rate. Vascular fragility is defined as a decrease in blood vessel resistance, and increased vascular fragility is one of the reasons for arterial bleeding. In this report, we present a case of spontaneous axillary artery bleeding in a heart transplant recipient.Item The Role of Choice-Lock Catheter and Trocar Technique in Percutaneous Ablation of Symptomatic Renal Cysts(2014) Ozkan, Burak; Harman, Ali; Emiroglu, Baris; Arer, Ilker; Aytekin, Cuneyt; 25035702Background: The most common benign lesions of the kidney are simple cysts. They are acquired lesions and mostly affect the elderly population. Objectives: To describe the usage of choice-lock catheter and trocar technique in percutaneous renal cyst treatment and determining long-term outcomes. Patients and Methods: This retrospective study was carried out between February 2000 and July 2011 Eighty-eight cysts all of which were Bosniak type-1 cysts were selected in 75 patients. The treatment indications were flank pain, hydronephros is and hypertension. The choice-lock catheter was used for 84 cysts with the trocar technique. Ninety-five percent ethanol was used as the sclerosing agent. Maximum volume of the injected ethanol was 175 ml. The mean follow-up time after the treatment procedure was 23 months. Sixty-four cysts were located in the cortical and 24 cysts were located at the parapelvic region. Results: Fifty-seven cysts had complete regression, while 31 cysts regressed partially After the procedure, pain was relieved in 44 (82%) patients and the pain alleviated in four (8%). Normotension was obtained in five (62.5%) of the eight hypertensive patients and no hydronephrosis was detected in nine patients. There were no relationship between the localization and the regression rate. No major complications occurred. Conclusions: Percutaneous ethanol sclerotheraphy in simple cysts is a safe, cost-effective and minimally invasive method. We consider that this technique may be an alternative solution in the percutaneous cyst treatment.
