Hepaticojejunostomy is an established procedure accompanying liver resection as well as hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. Typical complications requiring radiological intervention are abscesses and anastomosis leakage. Biliary obstruction and strictures are less frequent indications for interventional radiology since many of them can be treated endoscopically.
