Diagnosis and Management of Biliary Strictures after Deceased-Donor Liver Transplantation Based on Clinical Practice

Subsequently, we insert guidewires from both the side of PTCD and ERCP to break through the stricture [27]. Although study about the rendezvous technique is rare and efficacy and safety of the rendezvous are remain to be proved, the rendezvous technique is still a promising new technique when ERCP or PTCD failed in AS recipients.…”
