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.

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 a type of stem cell, given during liver transplant surgery, can help prevent bile duct complications. It is for people receiving 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 tests a way to prevent bile leaks after surgery to remove part of the liver in children. Bile is a digestive fluid made by the liver, and if it leaks after surgery it can cause problems. The approach involves a special technique during the operation to reduce the chance of this happening.
This study looks at past liver transplant patients to create a tool that helps predict whether someone might have bile duct problems after surgery. If you had a liver transplant at this hospital, your data could help improve care for future patients.
