Extraluminal Recanalization of Bile Duct Anastomosis Obstruction after Liver Transplantation.
This report describes extraluminal recanalization of bile duct anastomosis obstruction after living donor liver transplantation. The procedure was performed in 5 patients in whom negotiation of the biliary anastomotic obstruction by retrograde endoscopic approach and percutaneous intraluminal recanalization had failed. Extraluminal puncture from the donor bile duct to the recipient side bile duct was made with the stiff back end of a 0.035-inch hydrophilic guide wire. After recanalization, a percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage catheter was placed through the created tract. In all 5 patients, extraluminal recanalization was achieved without major complication, and endoscopic plastic stents were subsequently placed along the tract.
