  • Title: Percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage: direct approach under fluoroscopic control.
    Author: Takada T, Hanyu F, Kobayashi S, Uchida Y.
    Journal: J Surg Oncol; 1976; 8(1):83-97. PubMed ID: 1249944.
    Abstract:
    We devised a direct percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage under fluoroscopic control. The principle is as follows. After percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography, the three dimensional structure of intrahepatic bile ducts is projected to a two dimensional plane under fluoroscopy; the needle can then be introduced into the selected bile duct with accuracy. The technique can be used as a preoperative management of operations of patients with jaundice and also as a palliative management of advanced cancer without much complication.
