This 54 year old gentleman had recently undergone living donor liver transplant at our centre. He had presented with fever, chills, pruritus and a raised ALP level. His MRCP showed a short stricture at the anastomotic site (A: white arrow). We were greeted with a bulging ampulla on ERCP (B). Contrast injection highlighted the stricture ( C & D: white arrow). We dilated the track with a 7 French graduated dilatation catheter (D: black arrow) followed by placement of a 7 French plastic stent of 12 cm length (E:black arrows. White arrow shows the upper end of the stent assembly). This was rewarded with a gush (F: white arrow) of white (hence infected) bile.
I am a gastroenterologist. This is a blog of the ERCPs and related endoscopic procedures carried out at my department. Dr Adnan Salim.
