Stenosis in hepatic artery

Stenosis in hepatic artery

I had a liver transplant 10 months ago.I also have metabolic syndrome.Two days ago I had a Mdct angiography of the whole aorta,which showed a 60% focal narrowing of CHA and aorta anastomotic site.This test was carried out to determine my abdominal pains.Two years ago I had major surgery-arcuate ligament syndrome-where I had a 90% stenosis in the small intestine.Obviously I am concerned about this new situation-at what stage should I be looking for a stenting procedure to be carried out?Thanks for all your previous advice-it has been very helpful.

frankly i am not sure that a stent in the hepstic artery is the way to go as i am concerned that it could interrupt blood flow further. this itself should not be causing your pain.  with a stent you might also need long term anticoagulaion with plavix.
