The role of bile salt toxicity in the pathogenesis of bile duct injury after non-heart-beating porcine liver transplantation KU Leuven
Background. Intrahepatic bile duct strictures are a serious complication after non-heart-beating (NHB) liver transplantation. Bile salt toxicity has been identified as an important factor in the pathogenesis of bile duct injury and cholangiopathies. The role of bile salt toxicity in the development of biliary strictures after NHB liver transplantation is unclear.
