    Percutaneous biliary decompression effectively relieved obstructive jaundice in patients. This minimally invasive procedure, using internal or external drainage, significantly reduced bilirubin levels with manageable complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Interventional Radiology
    • Hepatobiliary Medicine

    Background:

    • Obstructive jaundice presents a significant clinical challenge requiring effective decompression.
    • Percutaneous catheter-based interventions offer a less invasive approach to biliary drainage.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous catheter biliary decompression in patients with obstructive jaundice.
    • To assess the rates of internal versus external drainage and associated outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 42 patients undergoing percutaneous catheter biliary decompression.
    • Categorization of drainage type (internal vs. external) and monitoring of serum bilirubin levels.
    • Documentation of complications, diagnostic yield of aspiration biopsy, and catheter-related issues.

    Main Results:

    • Successful decompression achieved in all patients, with internal drainage in 64.3% and external in 35.7%.
    • Serum bilirubin decreased at an average rate of 1.4 mg/dL/day.
    • Complications occurred in 23.8% of patients, including sepsis and septic shock; one procedure-related death.

    Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous catheter biliary decompression is an effective method for managing obstructive jaundice.
    • While generally safe, potential complications necessitate careful patient monitoring and management.
    • The procedure allows for tissue diagnosis and offers both internal and external drainage options.
