Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage for Biliary Stricture After Endotherapy Failure in Living Donor Liver Transplantation: A Single-Centre Experience from India

摘要

In the living donor liver transplant (LDLT) population, postoperative biliary stricture is a common problem. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP) and stenting failures usually occur because of odd angulation of the ducts, particularly in right lobe grafts. Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) is helpful in patients where endoscopic intervention is unsuccessful. We report our experience in this particular group of patients from India.
