We report a case of herniation of the entire small bowel under an
infrarenal conduit 8 months after orthotopic liver transplantation. The
conduit was compressed by the mesentery and developed a stricture and
thrombosis. Liver revascularization was accomplished by an urgent
thrombectomy, resection of the stricture, and reanastomosis of the
conduit. Suspicion of this serious complication should arise in
transplant recipients who present with bowel obstruction associated with
liver dysfunction
