The outcomes of biliary drainage by percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography for the palliation of malignant biliary obstruction in England between 2001 and 2014: a retrospective cohort study [PDF]
Introduction Relieving obstructive jaundice in inoperable pancreato-biliary cancers improves quality of life and permits chemotherapy. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography with drainage and/or stenting relieves jaundice but can be associated with ...

Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography in the era of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography: A prospective comparative analysis in preoperative evaluation of benign biliary stricture [PDF]
Background and Aim Accurate anatomical delineation is the key before definitive repair for benign biliary stricture (BBS). The role of percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) as a road map is less studied in the era of magnetic resonance ...

PERCUTANEOUS TRANSHEPATIC CHOLANGIOGRAPHY
The patient who presents with jaundice, regardless of the etiology, cannot be adequately examined by a gallbladder series and intravenous cholangiography. Clinical evaluation aided by laboratory analysis will not always differentiate between primary liver parenchymal disease and biliary tract obstruction. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography, when

Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiography [PDF]
TTHERE ARE FEW problems more perplexing than the differential diagnosis of the jaundiced patient. Oral and intravenous cholangiography are not applicable in the presence of jaundice, and if jaundice has been present for any prolonged period, the usual chemical tests are of limited value in differentiating extrahepatic obstructive from hepatocellular ...

Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography [PDF]
1. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography should take its proper place in our armamentarium of diagnostic procedures. 2. If one adheres strictly to the indications and observes careful technic, the hazards are minimal and the information gained rewarding, as illustrated by a detailed report of 1 case. 3.

Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiography [PDF]
Chemical and histological studies are often unable to differen tiate chronic extrahepatic obstructive jaundice (due to calculi, neoplasia, or stricture) from chronic intrahepatic obstructive jaundice (caused by primary biliary cirrhosis or by drugs, . notably anabolic steroids and phenothiazine derivatives).

Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiography
Summary Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography has been performed by introducing contrast material through a polyethylene catheter into the liver. This catheter may be left in situ after the cholangiogram, permitting biliary drainage and so reducing the risk of biliary peritonitis.
