The objective of this study is to demonstrate the clinical utility of cholangioscopy with Spy Glass Digital System (DS) in cadaveric donor or live donor liver transplantation patients who are referred for ERCP in the setting of a clinical suspicion of post liver transplant bile duct stricture(s). A secondary study objective is to generate a hypothesis for a randomized controlled trial comparing ERCP alone to ERCP with Per- Oral Cholangioscopy (POCS) in patients referred for ERCP post liver transplantation.
