This 56 year old gentleman had undergone biliary stenting previously http://ercp365.blogspot.com/2015/04/post-transplant-anastomotic-biliary.html. Following this he developed pruritus and disturbed transaminases and a repeat ERCP with stent removal and extension of sphincterotomy was done last month. The CBD was clean and free of any stones/sludge (A: White arrow). His liver enzymes became disturbed again and he developed pruritus. Contrast injection showed poor filling of the right ductal system (B: White arrow). No attempts at dilatation were made as our papillotome had easily traversed the strictured site and we placed a thicker 10 French stent of 12 cm length (C: White arrows) as opposed to the 7 French stent placed in the ERCP before last (see link above).
