Jaundice from impacted sediment in a T tube: recognition and treatment
AJR. American Journal of Roentgenology
|September 1, 1976
Abstract:
Encrustation of bile sediment in the proximal limb of an indwelling T tube may occlude the luman and cause jaundice. The cholangiographic appearance of this phenomenon is described. Insertion of a torque cable under fluoroscopic control can successfully disimpact the occlusion, restoring patency and relieving the jaundice.
