This 45 year old gentleman was undergoing ERCP for the second time. Earlier a 7 French 12 cm had been placed in May of this year. He then developed pruritus and a rising alkaline phosphatase. His bilirubin levels remained normal. We removed the previously placed stent which was blocked. Contrast injection showed the strictured segment involving the posterior ductal branch of the graft and native bile duct (A: White arrow). This segment was dilated with a 6mm diameter balloon of 40 mm length. A thicker, 10 French stent of 12 cm length was placed (C: Black arrows).
