Diagnosing and Treating Transplant Biliary Anastomotic Complications in Infants after Living Left Lateral Liver Transplant

Purpose or Case Report: Through a series of cases, this poster demonstrates how to diagnose and treat biliary anastomotic complications with image-guided techniques in infants after liver transplant.

We present several cases to illustrate the variability of biliary anastomoses including location, type, and number of anastomoses. Pediatric interventional radiologists and image-guided procedures are critical in the successful management of post-transplant biliary anastomotic strictures and leaks and minimize the need for invasive reoperation.

The selected cases illustrate complex image-guided percutaneous management of multiple duct anastomotic strictures, anastomotic dehiscence, cut surface leaks, and removal of surgically placed stents that may be malpositioned and/or causing obstruction. The interventional methods used to percutaneously manage these cases include complex biliary access utilizing snares, multiple drain placement, stent placement, and rendezvous procedures with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

The use of image-guided techniques by the pediatric interventional radiologist are invaluable in the management of biliary complications post-liver transplant in infants.
