Figure 1 Magnetic resonance cholagiopancreatography (MRCP) image of the biliary tract of a patient that developed abnormal liver enzymes 8 mo after liver transplantation.
The MRCP showed a severe biliary stricture at the anastomotic site (arrow).
Figure 2 Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) in a patient that developed pruritus and cholestasis 6 mo after liver transplantation.
The ERC showed a severe anastomosis stricture (arrow). This stricture was successfully managed with biliary balloon dilation and stent placement.
Figure 3 Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) image of a biliary leak in a patient after a liver transplantation.
The arrow is pointing to the area of extravasation of contrast from the biliary tree.
