Prospective assessment of probe‐based confocal laser endomicroscopy under direct cholangioscopic visualization for biliary strictures that could not be definitively diagnosed using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (with video)

DEN Open
The definitive diagnosis of patients with indeterminate biliary strictures remains challenging. Probe‐based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) provides real‐time histological assessment of bile duct tissues. Since no previous studies have evaluated the

Altered bile composition after liver transplantation is associated with the development of nonanastomotic biliary strictures

, 2009
Background/Aims: Nonanastomotic biliary strictures are troublesome complications after liver transplantation. The pathogenesis of NAS is not completely clear, but experimental studies suggest that bile salt toxicity is involved.
