Ultrasound and CT are highly sensitive for detecting BDA insufficiency and rely on the following findings: free fluid in the right upper quadrant adjacent to the BDA, identification of variable amounts of free air adjacent to the BDA and pneumobilia in non-dilated intrahepatic biliary ducts (figure 1).

CT demonstrating signs of BDA insufficiency (perihepatic collection, the presence of pneumobilia in the left liver lobe and a small amount of free intraperitoneal air). BDA, biliodigestive anastomosis.
