Loss of Distal Native Bile Duct in Liver Transplant Recipient with Necrotizing Pancreatitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acute pancreatitis in acute liver failure carries significant morbidity and mortality. We review a case of severe acute pancreatitis recognized during liver transplant that evolved into necrotizing pancreatitis and subsequent loss of the native intrapancreatic common bile duct. The treatment and management of pancreatitis in liver transplant patients is poorly defined; the dissolution of native distal common bile duct has not been reported. This manuscript outlines our management and multidisciplinary approach to this complex surgical issue.

We read with interest the article by Ray S. et al. recently published in JOP. Journal of the Pancreas [1]. We agree with authors that given the rarity and intermittent course of hemosuccus pancreaticus, difficulties in determining the location of bleeding sometimes cause delay of treatment. Until now, reports on hemosuccus pancreaticus in transplant population have been quite limited. Therefore...
