We report a case of arterio-portal fistulae in a 12-month-old-child following a segmental liver transplantation. The fistula, probably the result of mass ligature of a vascular pedicle during back table allograft reduction, is to our knowledge the first such case reported. Diagnosed on the third post-operative day, the fistula was successfully managed with transcatheter coil embolization. The child is well and asymptomatic, 33 months after transplantation. In addition to those seen in whole organ transplantation, there are a few complications specifically related to segmental transplantation. These complications, although infrequent, are a direct consequence of the back table liver partition, as in the case herein reported.
