@preetismiles, I know that @webiondev posted about biliary strictures after liver transplant a few years ago.

Smiles, are you experiencing bile duct complications after your a liver transplant? What symptoms did you experience? How are they being managed?

I am about 6 months post liver transplant and had 3 ERCP to manage biliary strictures using stents. I don’t know how long it will take to be stents free so curious to know others experience.

I too am about six months past liver transplant and have had 4 ERCP procedures. Unfortunately I went septic 5 days after the first stent insertion.

I am curious what others have experienced and what to expect. Since my last procedure I have been fatigued - Drs are monitoring.

I have another stent evaluation via ERCP in a month.
