Background: Biliary‐enteric transanastomotic stenting is useful under adverse local conditions or when small‐calibre bile ducts are encountered.Methods: A commercially available feeding jejunostomy kit, Intestofix, was inserted transjejunally through the blind loop of a Roux‐en‐Y hepatico‐jejunostomy.Conclusions: The stent splinted the anastomosis to reduce biliary leaks and may help to prevent subsequent stricture formation.
