Olympus reviewed the following literature titled "long-term results of endoscopic metal stenting for biliary anastomotic stricture after liver transplantation." anastomotic biliary stricture (abs) is a well-known complication of liver transplantation which can lead to secondary biliary cirrhosis and graft dysfunction.The goal of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of endoscopic metal stenting of abs in the setting of deceased donor liver transplantation (ddlt).Consecutive ddlt patients with endoscopic metal stenting for abs between 2010 and 2015 were screened.Data on diagnosis, treatment and follow-up (until june 2022) were collected.The primary outcome was endoscopic treatment failure defined as the need for surgical refection.Results: among the 465 patients who underwent lt, 41 developed abs.It was diagnosed after a mean period of 7.4 months (+/- 10.6) following lt.Endoscopic treatment was technically successful in 95.1% of cases.The mean duration of endoscopic treatment was 12.8 months (+/- 9.1) and 53.7% of patients completed a 1-year treatment.After a mean follow-up of 6.9 years (+/- 2.3), endoscopic treatment failed in nine patients (22%) who required surgical refection.Conclusions: endoscopic management with metal stenting of abs after ddlt was technically successful in most cases, and half of the patients had at least one year of indwelling stent.Endoscopic treatment long-term failure rate occurred in one fifth of the patients.Type of adverse events/number of patients: post-sphincterotomy bleeding - four patients; post-ercp pancreatitis - six patients; cholangitis - two patients.There was no report of any olympus device malfunction in any procedure described in this study.
