Extrinsic biliary compression in a patient with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis

This 35 year old gentleman was a diagnosed case of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis who had developed obstructive jaundice secondary to extrinsic biliary compression. This was evident on MRCP (A: red arrow). This was most likely a lymph node exerting pressure on the bile duct. Contrast injection on ERCP confirmed the MRCP findings (B: red arrow). We dilated the stricture tract with a 10 French dilator (C: black arrows). Further advancement of the dilator revealed a sharp bend (D: white arrow marks the bend. Black arrows delineate the stent). A 12cm long plastic stents of 10 French diameter was placed (E: white arrow shows the "kink" in the stent at the aforementioned bend. Black arrows outline the stent). A snare was used to pull the stent back to straighten it out (F: red arrow shows the snare around the stent. G: black arrows mark the non kinked stent, properly deployed). 

Second (actually 3rd) ERCP for post transplant biliary leak

This 60 year old gentleman had earlier undergone ERCP and stenting for an anastomotic biliary leakage a few months earlier http://ercp365.bl...
