Had transplant in August. Had my 4 month evaluation. They found Hectic artery stenosis. They went in to put in stent. But artery was kinked. Now they have cut me back open to find the artery and replace with donor artery. Is this common? Seems like I am starting all over. Surgery scheduled for Thursday.

@livertrex, Surgery tomorrow? I send my thoughts to you as you prepare to undergo this procedure.
I had a blocked bile duct after my 1st year, and I required surgery. It was nothing like the transplant surgery, and I quickly returned to my normal activities.
I will be checking my messages during the holidays. I want to hear how the surgery goes for you.

I had four ERCPs to place a stent about 3 months after transplant. Each time I contracted pancreatitis and the pain was horrendous! I had a pain management team to administer pain killers. I was on everything! Set back my recovery by at least 6 months. My transplant was last November. I pray yours goes well the first time.
