To assess the benefits of performing endoluminal forceps biopsy during initial drainage compared to postponed biopsy using two patient management scenarios. Since 2006, 101 consecutive patients with malignant biliary stenosis due to cholangiocellular carcinoma have been followed up. All patients underwent a percutaneous biliary drainage (PBD) procedure and endoluminal forceps biopsy to obtain histological verification of stenosis

Hepatic venous outflow complications are major obstacles to success of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), especially using a right-liver graft without the middle hepatic vein (MHV). The aim of this study wasto clarify hepatic venous outflow complication, the risk factors for hepatic venous stenosis and the role of endovascular intervention in its management in LDLT using a right-liver graft without the MHV
