    A new technique allows for successful drainage of high biliary obstructions using the Cope biliary retention catheter. This method modifies the catheter to improve bile duct drainage in challenging cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Interventional Gastroenterology
    • Biliary Endoscopy

    Background:

    • Standard Cope biliary retention catheters may be ineffective for high proximal biliary obstructions.
    • Modifications to the catheter are often needed for adequate bile duct drainage.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a simple technique for modifying the Cope biliary retention catheter.
    • To enable effective drainage of proximally obstructed bile ducts.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel technique involves removing the retention string before creating new side holes.
    • The stiffening cannula is used to reinsert the string after modification.
    • This method was applied in 5 patient cases.

    Main Results:

    • The described technique successfully facilitated drainage in all 5 cases.

  • No complications related to the catheter modification were reported.

    • Conclusions:

    • This simple modification technique enhances the utility of Cope biliary retention catheters.
    • It provides an effective solution for managing high proximal biliary obstructions.
