Preventing bile duct issues after children's liver transplant
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests placing a temporary drainage stent during liver transplant surgery in children to see if it helps prevent bile duct complications. It might improve recovery for young transplant recipients.

Who can take part
- You had your first liver transplant surgery at a specific hospital in China.
- You are 6 years old or younger.
- This is your first liver transplant.
- You or your family agree to join the study and sign a consent form.

This study is testing a special temporary stent that breaks down over time to help open a narrowed bile duct after a liver transplant. It may help avoid long-term plastic stents or additional surgery.
This study compares two ways of connecting the bile duct during a liver transplant to see which leads to a smoother recovery. It is for adults having a planned first transplant from a deceased donor.
This study tests whether stem cells from donated fat tissue can help prevent bile duct problems after a living-donor liver transplant. It is for adult patients who are listed for a transplant and will receive a liver from a living donor.
This study looks at what factors lead to “biliary complications” (problems involving the bile ducts that help move bile from the liver) after an adult living-donor liver transplant. It’s aimed at people who had this specific type of transplant at the study hospital in Egypt.
This study looks at living donor liver transplant care and follows patients for about 3 years to see how they do over time. If you had (or are scheduled for) a living donor liver transplant and can be followed long-term, this trial may be able to collect your outcomes.
This study looks at people who had their first liver transplant at Sun Yat-sen University First Affiliated Hospital between 2016 and 2021. It aims to create a simple tool to predict the risk of bile duct problems after the transplant.
