Data are presented as percentages with 95% confidence intervals in parentheses and number of patients in brackets. Anastomosis site abnormality was defined as more than 50% stenosis at or around the anastomosis. Distal run-off abnormality means no visible, or irregular, faint, and discontinuous enhancement of post anastomotic hepatic artery. *The p values were by comparison between conventional and modified criteria. NPV = negative predictive value, PPV = positive predictive value
