  • Title: Malignant biliary obstruction complicated by ascites: closure of the transhepatic tract with cyanoacrylate glue after placement of an endoprosthesis.
    Author: Cekirge S, Akhan O, Ozmen M, Saatçi I, Besim A.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 1997; 20(3):228-31. PubMed ID: 9134851.
    Abstract:
    A new technique using cyanoacrylate glue is suggested for closing the transparenchymal tract following metallic endoprosthesis placement in a patient with malignant biliary obstruction complicated by ascites. With this technique, complications related to bile reflux through the transparenchymal tract would be avoided after transhepatic endoprosthesis placement in patients who have ascites. This technique would also be useful for avoiding bleeding following transhepatic portal venous puncture.
