Intrahepatic bile duct strictures in a liver allograft recipient mimicking recurrent primary sclerosing cholangitis. Follow-up of a case report.
Sir: Reasons for development of large biliary tract complications after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) are varied and include: (a) most commonly, surgical complications from reconstruction of the extrahepatic bile duct [2]; (b) occasionally. recurrence of malignant biliary tract disease [1]; and (c) debatably, recurrence of the original benign biliary tract disease [5,6]. Although a hig...
متن کاملPrevention of bile duct cancer in primary sclerosing cholangitis.
Patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) have a substantial predisposition to develop bile duct carcinoma. The mechanism is still unclear but the observation that patients with chronic Clonorchis sinensis infection are also prone to cholangiocarcinoma suggests a role for long standing inflammation. However, there is still no effective medical therapy which can halt the progression of ...
متن کاملIntrahepatic bile duct strictures after human orthotopic liver transplantation. Recurrence of primary sclerosing cholangitis or unusual presentation of allograft rejection?
One of 55 patients transplanted for sclerosing cholangitis during the cyclosporin-steroid era (March 1980-June 1986) developed intrahepatic biliary strictures in the absence of allograft rejection within the 1st year posttransplantation. Although many causes underlie biliary pathology in the postoperative period (i.e., arterial injury, ischemia, chronic rejection, cholangitis), recurrent diseas...
متن کاملLack of complications following short-term stent therapy for extrahepatic bile duct strictures in primary sclerosing cholangitis.
BACKGROUND In 10% to 20% of patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis, a dominant stricture of an extrahepatic bile duct is responsible for symptoms and an exacerbation of cholestasis. The complications of a dominant stricture can usually be relieved by endoscopic placement of a stent through the stricture. The conventional policy of leaving stents in situ for 2 to 3 months is associated wit...
متن کاملEndoscopic Dilatation of Dominant Strictures in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis
PAPER DISCUSSION Background and Study Aims: In a subgroup of patients, primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is complicated by high-grade focal strictures of the bile ducts, and this can have an unfavourable influence on the natural course of the disease. The aim of this
