    Summary

    Percutaneous transcholecystic cholangiography effectively visualizes bile ducts in patients with obstructive jaundice. This minimally invasive technique offers a safe and valuable alternative for imaging nondilated biliary systems.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical imaging
    • Gastroenterology
    • Interventional radiology

    Background:

    • Obstructive jaundice diagnosis often requires detailed visualization of the biliary tree.
    • Conventional imaging techniques may have limitations in opacifying nondilated bile ducts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous transcholecystic cholangiography.
    • To assess its utility in cases of suspected obstructive jaundice with normal-sized bile ducts.

    Main Methods:

    • Percutaneous transcholecystic cholangiography was performed in three human patients and eight dogs.
    • The procedure involved accessing the biliary tree via the cystic duct.
    • Imaging focused on demonstrating both intra- and extrahepatic biliary structures.

    Main Results:

    • The procedure successfully visualized the entire intra- and extrahepatic biliary tree in all cases.
    • No significant clinical complications were reported.
    • The technique proved effective even in the presence of normal-sized bile ducts.

    Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous transcholecystic cholangiography is a technically straightforward and valuable method.
    • It serves as a viable alternative to transhepatic cholangiography for opacifying nondilated bile ducts.
    • This approach offers a safe option for diagnosing obstructive jaundice.
