Abstract
•The study of splenic artery steal after liver transplantation is not common, though the treatment and diagnosis methods are more mature.•This study analyzed the development process of splenic artery steal.
Splenic artery steal syndrome (SASS) has gained attention as a complication involving the hepatic artery and can cause ischemia in a grafted liver. This article presents 3 patients with SASS, including their diagnosis and treatment. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography and angiography are useful in diagnosing SASS, and splenic artery trunk embolization is an effective treatment. The purpose of this article is to reinforce the understanding of the development and progression of SASS.
