Comment on “The role of graft reperfusion sequence in the development of non-anastomotic biliary strictures following orthotopic liver transplantation: A meta-analysis”

To the Editor:With great interest we read the article by Bekheit et al.“The role of graft reperfusion sequence in the development of non-anastomotic biliary strictures following orthotopic liver transplantation:a meta-analysis”[1].The authors performed a metaanalysis of published studies comparing the outcomes of initial portal reperfusion(IPR)(sequential)versus simultaneous reperfusion(SimR)or initial arterial reperfusion(IAR).The primary objective of the study was to“compare the incidence of nonanastomotic biliary stricture,in both techniques”.
