Figure 3 Steps of type B reconstruction: (A) right posterior intrahepatic duct (IHD) anastomosed to the common hepatic duct (CHD), and right anterior IHD anastomosed to cystic duct; (B) guide wire is inserted through the CHD into the right posterior IHD, showing the sharp angle of biliary axis between the IHD of the graft and the native CBD of the recipient; (C) guide wire is inserted through the cystic duct into the right anterior IHD; (D) endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage with 2 stents in the strictures of dual anastomosis.
