CT abnormality patterns and complex periportal halo signs on 1-month post-transplantation CT may be clinically useful for managing biliary strictures in ABO-incompatible LDLT recipients. Key Points • Of ABO-incompatible LDLT recipients, type B biliary stricture incidence was 6.8%. • Of type B strictures, 86.4% exhibited similar CT abnormality patterns at 1-month post-transplantation. • Complex periportal halo at 1 month was significantly associated with type B strictures. • Progressive clinical outcomes were more frequently observed in type B strictures.
