Bile Leakage after Liver Transplantation Owing to Stricture of Afferent Jejunal Loop Caused by an Intussusception Valve after Biliary Atresia Surgery: A Case Report
This case highlights the possibility for late-onset afferent jejunal stricture due to IAV in BA patients undergoing LT. The narrowing likely results from long-term fibrotic changes after 34 years from BA operation. Given the increasing number of BA survivors receiving LT, awareness of IAV-related complications is crucial. In cases with suspected afferent limb stenosis, preoperative assessment and consideration of jejunal limb resection during LT may help prevent postoperative complications.
