Objective To explore the value of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in the treatment of biliary complications after liver transplantation. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 50 patients with biliary complications after liver transplantation admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to January 2023. All patients received ERCP treatment, and targeted intervention was implemented based on the types of complications. Observe the changes of liver function indicators, the time of symptom relief and the incidence of complications. Results The levels of TBIL, DBIL, ALT, AST, as well as the time for jaundice regression, abdominal pain relief, and fever regression all decreased compared with those before treatment (P<0.05). The incidence of complications was 10.00%, and all patients recovered after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion ERCP for the treatment of biliary complications after liver transplantation has the advantages of improving liver function, rapid symptom relief, less trauma and high safety, and is worthy of promotion.
