Bile duct stones are a serious and the third most common complication of the biliary system that can occur following liver transplantation.The incidence rate of bile duct stones after liver transplantation is1.8%-18%.The management of biliary stones is usually performed with endoscopic techniques;however,the technique may prove to be challenging in the treatment of the intrahepatic bile duct stones.We herein reporta case of a 40-year-old man with rare,complex bile duct stones that were successfully eliminated with percutaneous interventional techniques.The complex bile duct stones were defined as a large number of bile stones filling the intra-and extrahepatic bile tracts,resulting in a cast formation within the biliary tree.Common complications such as hemobilia and acute pancreatitis were not present during the perioperative period.The follow-up period was 20 mo long.During the postoperative period,the patient maintained normal temperature,and normal total bilirubin and direct bilirubin levels.The patient is now living a high quality life.This case report highlights the safety and efficacy of the percutaneous interventional approach in the removal of complex bile duct stones following liver transplantation.
Bile duct stones are a serious and the third most common complication of the biliary system that can occur following liver transplantation. The incidence rate of bile duct stones after liver transplantation is 1.8% -18%. The management of biliary stones is usually performed with endoscopic techniques; however, the technique may prove to be challenging in the treatment of the intrahepatic bile duct stones. We herein reporta case of a 40-year-old man with rare, complex bile duct stones that were successfully eliminated with percutaneous interventional techniques. The complex bile duct stones were defined as a large number of bile stones filling the intra-and extrahepatic bile tracts, resulting in a cast formation within the biliary tree. Common complications such as hemobilia and acute pancreatitis were not present during the perioperative period. follow-up period was 20 mo long. During the postoperative period, the patient maintains normal temperature, and normal total bilirubin and direct biliru bin levels. The patient is now living a high quality life. This case report highlights the safety and efficacy of the percutaneous interventional approach in the removal of complex bile duct stones following liver transplantation.
