Review of Percutaneous Biliary Drainage in Malignant Biliary Obstruction and Accompanying Bilomas
نویسنده
چکیده
In this review, we have discussed efficacy of percutaneous biliary drainage not only in cases with malignant bi l iary obstructive jaundice, but accompanying bilomas as well. Percutaneous biliary drainage is mostly successful. Direct bilirubin levels can be decreased significantly as in our previous series, which has a success of 89.5% of malignant biliary drainages and all associated bilomas. Percutaneous biliary drainage is an effective interventional radiological method in palliation therapy of malignant biliary obstruction and associated bilomas.

Commentary (Raijman/Wallace): Management of Malignant Biliary Obstruction: Nonoperative and Palliative Techniques
The first description of percutaneous biliary drainage in the United States appeared in 1965 [1]. The percutaneously placed catheters were left in the obstructed biliary tract for drainage for up to 5 days. Since then, biliary drainage techniques have advanced substantially, and options have proliferated. Now, the nonsurgical palliation of malignant biliary obstruction, accomplished either endo...

In patients with inoperable hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA), palliative endoscopic or percutaneous drainage provides benefits in terms of symptomatic improvement and quality of life. Endoscopic biliary stent placement is considered the gold standard, with metal stents preferred over plastic stents in patients with more than three months of life expectancy. However, the endoscopic management of ...

IMPORTANCE Nonsurgical biliary drainage in malignant biliary tract obstruction can be performed endoscopically by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or by percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD). The published body of literature to support either approach is surprisingly sparse, is conflicting on the preferred approach, and is limited by small studies with heterogen...

Background: Cholangiocarcinoma is an invasive biliary malignancy with poor prognosis. Diagnostic accuracy of conventional methods is low which is mainly due to the specific anatomy of the disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of biochemical profile and tumor marker of the bile in patients with malignant cholestasis compared to that of choledocholithiasis. ...
