However, morbidity - predominantly infectious complications - is still relevant. Its incidence varies between 10% and 30%5, 6. These high rates of post OLT biliary complications point to the inherently greater sensitivity of the biliary epithelium to ischemia compared with the sensitivities of hepatocytes and the vascular endothelium 7.
Inicialmente, la mortalidad secundaria a las complicaciones biliares era hasta de un 30% 3, hoy en día no superan el 10-15% 4, sin embargo, la morbilidad es aún relevante con una incidencia que varía entre el 10 y el 30%, predominando las complicaciones infecciosas 5, 6.
