This patient underwent an ERCP and plastic stent placement following development of an anastomotic stricture after living donor liver transplant. The first ERCP was done three months ago ( two months after transplant) and showed a stricture at the site of anastomosis (A: white arrow). It was dilated with a 7 French dilatation catheter (B: white arrow) followed by a stenting with a 10cm long 10 French plastic stent (C: white arrows). We reviewed the patient again and decided to remove the previously placed stent and see the status of the stricture with a cholangiogram. The old stent was visualized on ERCP (D: white arrows) which was removed. Repeat contrast injection showed narrowing at the anastomostic site (E & F: white arrows). The strictured area was dilated with 8mm x 3cm TTS balloon (G & H: white arrows). Contrast injection now showed successful stricturoplasty (I: white arrows). A 10 French 10cm plastic stent was placed across the anastomotic site (J: white arrows). A second stent assembly was then placed parallel to the first one (K: blue arrow) after which a second 10 French plastic stent of 10cm length was placed (L: white arrows show the two stents placed in parallel).
