TI  - Management of Post-Transplant Anastomotic Stricture Using Self-Expandable Metal 
      Stent.

AB  - Anastomotic stricture (AS) is one of the complications of liver transplantation 
      (LT) and can occur in up to 40% of living-donor LTs. Endoscopic management has 
      become the first-line treatment of AS, and multiple plastic stents insertion has 
      been mainly used in the past. Recently, many treatments utilizing fully covered 
      self-expandable metal stents (cSEMSs) have been attempted, and results showing 
      adequate treatment outcome have been reported. In this review, we look into the 
      treatment performance and cautionary steps needed when using cSEMS as a treatment 
      for AS.
