| Core Tip |
Biliary stricture formation post liver transplantation is a frequent cause for patient morbidity and mortality and are referred to as the Achilles’ Heel of transplant. Strictures can be anastomotic and non-anastomotic depending on their number and anatomical location. Early stricture identification is key to providing successful treatment options. Known risk factors for biliary stricture formation include surgical technique, bile leak, hepatic artery thrombosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, DCD donors and increased cold ischemic time. This study identifies risk factors for biliary stricture formation, discusses the important of bilirubin and its potential role when implementing surveillance tools for biliary stricture formation post-transplant. |
