✦ Synopsis

E ndoscopy is useful for the evaluation of liver trans- plant (LT) patients during the pretransplantation and posttransplantation period (Table 1). Prior to transplantation, endoscopy is most commonly used for prevention and/or management of gastrointestinal bleeding from portal hypertension. Posttransplantation, endoscopy via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is primarily used for managing biliary complications. This manuscript will review the role of endoscopy in the pretransplant and posttransplant period.
