Improved management of grade B biliary leaks after complex liver resections using gadoxetic acid disodium–enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiography

Abstract

Background

Bile leaks occurring after complex liver resection and lasting >1 week (grade B) usually are managed by means of invasive cholangiography either endoscopic or percutaneous, with a substantial risk of procedure-related complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of gadoxetic acid disodium–enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiography to detect postoperative biliary leaks and avoid...
