Abstract:
In cases of malignant bile duct obstruction in which internal biliary drainage cannot be established by surgical intervention or by implantation of a stent, the externally drained bile can be recycled by connecting the transhepatic catheter to a percutaneous gastrostomy. Experiences on three patients treated by the above method are reported.
