Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to describe SpyGlass choledochoscopy in patients with post orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) biliary strictures prior to endoscopic therapy and ductal changes after treatment stents.

Detailed Description

A prospective observational clinical study to be conducted in Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, a large open-access, private tertiary referral center.

Consecutive eligible patients with suspected post OLT biliary complications referred to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) will be considered to SpyGlass as follows.
