Core Tip	This retrospective study evaluated the resolution and recurrence of endoscopic treatment using an multiple plastic stents (MPSs) and covered self-expandable metal stents (cSEMSs) in patients with post-orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) biliary anastomotic stricture. We report the results of endoscopic therapy in patients with post-OLT anastomotic biliary strictures between 2012 and 2022. Patients were stratified into 2 groups according to therapy: (1) MPSs; and (2) CSEMSs. Stricture resolution occurred in 101/104 (97.1%). In the cSEMSs group was achieved in 83/84 patients (99%), as in the MPSs group it happened in 18/20 (90%). Adverse events occurred in 48% in the cSEMSs and 10% in the MPSs. The cSEMSs and MPSs were effective and comparable regarding anastomotic biliary strictures post-OLT resolution and recurrence.
