Summary

Prospective, randomized comparison of the incremental dilation and stent exchange vs. sequential stent addition approaches for management of anastomotic biliary strictures will facilitate optimal management of patients who develop anastomotic biliary strictures after liver transplantation.

Conditions

• Anastomotic Stenosis
• Biliary Stricture

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Protocol for increasing number of stents across the anastomosis	Sequential placement of straight plastic biliary stents across the duct-to-duct anastomosis without dilation or stent exchange. Multiple ERCPs will be performed with addition of a single stent at each ERCP until the final ERCP when all stents will be removed.
