Analysis of Factors Associated With Biliary Complications in Children After Liver Transplantation

Abstract

Technical factors play a major role in the development of BCs, particularly leaks. Strictures are more frequently associated with an inadequate arterial supply to the bile duct, and multiple arterial anastomoses may protect children from this complication. The use of partial grafts was not an independent factor for BCs in high-volume centers that are experienced with this technique.
