  • Title: [Percutaneously introduced bile duct prostheses as primary measure in obstructive jaundice (author's transl)].
    Author: Rupp N, Weiss HD.
    Journal: Rofo; 1980 Sep; 133(3):279-84. PubMed ID: 6451551.
    Abstract:
    The simplest measure for overcoming obstructive jaundice, and the one with the least complications, is percutaneous transhepatic bile duct drainage, which we have carried out on 38 patients. We have abandoned the catheter technique with combined external and internal drainage and instead use primary implantation of a bile duct prosthesis by the transhepatic route in cases of obstructive jaundice. The results are better, and the procedure is easier for the patient. Our experience with twelve implants in nine patients is described.
