Interventional radiology for post-transplant anastomotic complications

The effectiveness of percutaneous interventional radiology for anastomotic stricture in hepatic vein, portal vein, and biliary tract after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is described. As a number of patients with LDLT are infants < 10-year-old in the study, the first treatment option was balloon dilatation, not primary stenting. However, stent placement was performed in patients with recurrent, repeated stenosis.
