ABSTRACT
Anastomotic stricture of the choledochojejunostomy is a common complication after living donor liver transplantation. Most anastomotic strictures can be treated by percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage and/or double balloon endoscopy. However, in severe cases and/or in small infants, neither of these is possible. Our new technique, cholangiography accompanied by cholangioscopy, enabled successful guidewire placement and balloon dilatation in cases with severe anastomotic stricture.
