Biliary reconstruction was long considered the Achilles heel of the liver transplant operation. The refinement in the techniques described by various authors1 has dramatically reduced the incidence of biliary complications. These complications still occur, however, and carry a disproportionately high penalty in terms of morbidity and mortality.2 The obstructive type of these complications sometimes has a very insidious presentation and course that requires a high index of suspicion for a correct diagnosis. Our group favors the end-to-end choledochocholedochostomy (CC) repair whenever feasible.3 Over the past few years, a certain complication of this type of repair, heretofore unreported, has emerged: the diffuse dilatation (DD) of both donor and recipient common bile ducts (CBDs) without any obvious mechanical obstruction.
