Portal cavernous transformation can cause bile duct strictures and stones, leading to jaundice and cholangitis. A percutaneous transhepatic approach successfully treated these complications in a patient with short bowel syndrome.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV) involves dilated collaterals bypassing portal obstruction.
  • These collaterals can compress the common bile duct (CBD), causing extrinsic strictures.

Observation:

  • A patient with CTPV developed obstructive jaundice and cholangitis due to a CBD stricture and secondary choledochal lithiasis.
  • The patient had short bowel syndrome, precluding standard biliodigestive anastomosis.
  • Initial endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for stone removal was unsuccessful.

Findings:

  • A percutaneous transhepatic approach was successfully employed for stone removal and pneumatic dilatation of the CBD stricture.
  • This minimally invasive intervention resolved the obstructive jaundice and cholangitis.

Implications:

  • Percutaneous transhepatic intervention is a viable treatment for choledochal lithiasis and biliary strictures in complex cases, such as those with CTPV and short bowel syndrome.
  • This approach offers a safe and effective alternative when ERCP or surgery is not feasible.
