Abstract
ABSTRACTBiliary complications following liver transplantations, with leaks and bile duct strictures being the most common ones, are greatly feared. Portobiliary fistulas are rare, but may cause potentially life-threatening complications. The presented case shows the first successful treatment of a portobiliary fistula by an endoscopically deployed fully covered self-expandable metal stent after liver transplantation. In accordance to the already established use in refractory bile leaks, we believe that fully covered self-expandable metal stent is a safe and efficient treatment option for portobiliary fistula.
