Abstract:
Percutaneous biliary drainage, as palliation for malignant biliary obstruction, is subject to complications, particularly blockage of the drainage tube. Blockage may occur because of duodenal tumour involvement. In nine patients with blockage of the biliary-duodenal drainage tube, conversion to biliary-jejunal drainage allowed continued internal drainage of bile.
