Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of minimally invasive methods for non-anastomotic biliary stricture (NABS) after orthotopic liver transplantation.Methods The clinical data of 403 patients who underwent liver transplantation during recent 10 years in Liver Transplantation Center at General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Commanmol were analyzed retrospectively,and 13 patients with NABS were selected.The outcomes of 3 types of NABS patients treated by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) or percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage(PTCD) were compared and the indication for re-transplantation was identified.Results PTCD treatments of 4 patients were proved ineffective.The shortterm curative rate of minimally invasive treatments was 8/13.Five patients eventually required surgical treatments (re-transplantation in 4,Roux-en-Y anastomosis in 1).According to cholangiography results,NABS were divided into 3 types,namely hepatic bile duct strictures (n =4,type Ⅰ),multiple extra-hepatic and intrahepatic biliary strictures (n =7,type Ⅱ),intrahepatic biliary strictures (n =2,type Ⅲ).The success rates of minimally invasive treatment in 3 types of NABS were 3/4,4/7 and 1/2,respectively.Nearly half of type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ patients needed re-transplantation,which was more likely for those patients with hepatic artery stenosis (2/3).Conclusion NABS treated with minimally invasive methods are preferred.Based on the appearance of biliary stricture,type Ⅰ patients had the best prognosis.For those type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ patients who failed minimally invasive treatment,especially combined with hepatic arterial stenosis,surgical treatment should be timely,so as not to lose a chance for re-transplantation.
