Abstract

Background: Biliary tract complications are common after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), occurring in 13–35% of pts, with biliary leaks and anastomotic strictures most often identified. ERC allows for effective and less invasive management of these complications than repeat surgical evaluation. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the yield of a repeat ERCP in OLT pts with persistently elevated or rising LFTs after a previously normal ERC. Methods: Eligible OLT pts were identified by review of our ERCP database from 1999-2007.
