Chronic Rejection and Extrahepatic Biliary Tract Obstruction 8 Years After Orthotopic Liver Transplantation Using the Gallbladder-Conduit Technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case of delayed biliary obstruction and cholangitis, occurring in the setting of chronic allograft rejection, 8 years after liver transplantation using the gallbladder-conduit, is presented. Extrahepatic biliary obstruction may be seen in the late follow-up of liver grafting and rejection phenomena may play a significant role in the development of such obstruction.
