Abstract:
Ischaemic cholangiopathy occurs as a consequence of deficient arterial blood flow to the bile duct wall. Bile duct ischaemia can lead to full-thickness necrosis, bile leakage, biloma formation, and sepsis. It is an important cause of graft failure post-orthotopic liver transplantation. In the native liver, the causes of biliary ischaemia are diverse and include vasculitis or a complication of endovascular procedures. The present review describes the pathology and radiological findings of ischaemic cholangiopathy and outlines the role of interventional radiology in its management.
