RISK FACTORS FOR POST-LIVER TRANSPLANT BILIARY COMPLICATIONS IN THE ABSENCE OF ARTERIAL COMPLICATIONS.

Background: - Biliary complications (BC) represent the most frequent complication after liver transplantation, up to 34% of cases.

Aim: To identify modifiable risk factors to biliary complications after liver transplantation, essential to decrease morbidity.

Method: Clinical data, anatomical characteristics of recipient and donors, and transplant operation features of 306 transplants with full arterial patency were collected to identify risk factors associated with BC.
