    Author: Lackner K, Steudel A, Bäuerle R, Engel C, Schneider B.
    Journal: Rofo; 1985 Jun; 142(6):647-54. PubMed ID: 2988063.
    Abstract:
    Significant reduction in serum bilirubin levels was obtained in 90.7% of 75 patients on whom percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage had been carried out, either immediately before operation or as a prolonged palliative procedure. The technical requirements, complications, mortality rate and length of stay in hospital are less than following palliative surgery.
