RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Post-transplant biliary complications: advances in pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment JF BMJ Open Gastroenterology JO BMJ Open Gastro FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd SP e000778 DO 10.1136/bmjgast-2021-000778 VO 9 IS 1 A1 Matthew Fasullo A1 Milan Patel A1 Lauren Khanna A1 Tilak Shah YR 2022 UL http://bmjopengastro.bmj.com//content/9/1/e000778.abstract AB Liver transplantation (LT) is the only curative therapy in patients with end-stage liver disease. Long-term survival is excellent, yet LT recipients are at risk of significant complications. Biliary complications are an important source of morbidity after LT, with an estimated incidence of 5%–32%. Post-LT biliary complications include strictures (anastomotic and non-anastomotic), bile leaks, stones, and sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. Prompt recognition and management is critical as these complications are associated with mortality rates up to 20% and retransplantation rates up to 13%. This review aims to summarise our current understanding of risk factors, natural history, diagnostic testing, and treatment options for post-transplant biliary complications.No data are available.
