Abstract:
The majority of complications due to orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT)need interventional treatment. For arterial and venous complications after OLT, we have established clear and definite interventional therapeutic mode. However, it has been the difficult point as well as the weak point for interventional radiologists to treat the biliary complications. With the technical improvement and deep-going understanding, a part of biliary complications of OLT can be relieved or even finally be cured with percutaneous biliary drainage(PTBD) and endoscopic nasobiliary drainage(ENBD). For some patients, PTBD and ENBD seem to be the main palliative therapeutic means, which might accompany the patients for a lifetime. Now, it is an urgent demand to formulate the clinical therapeutic guidelines for the treatment of biliary complications after OLT.
