Abstract Hemobilia, or hemorrhage within the biliary system, is an uncommon cause of stent obstruction associated with bile duct strictures that are rarely observed with plastic stents. Reports of a pseudoaneurysm as a cause of hemobilia after plastic stent placement are also rare.

Abstract Objectives Precut sphincterotomy is often performed when bile duct cannulation is difficult; however, the former has a higher risk of complications than conventional methods. Early precut reduces the risk of post‐endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis (PEP).

ABSTRACT Objectives Anastomotic biliary strictures are a common complication following orthotopic liver transplantation (post‐OLT), impacting morbidity and graft survival. This meta‐analysis evaluates the efficacy, safety, and cost‐effectiveness of covered self‐expanding metal stents (cSEMS) versus multiple plastic stents (MPS) for treating post‐OLT ...
