Fourteen ultrasonically-guided percutaneous transcholecystic cholangiographies (PTCC) were performed in subjects with biliary obstruction with different underlying diseases. No complication was observed, and the procedure permitted diagnosis in all cases, although the previously reported difficulty of visualizing proximal bile ducts was confirmed in two cases. PTCC can constitute a valid and safe diagnostic alternative in obstructive jaundice in which no dilation of intrahepatic bile ducts is revealed on US, in cases in which percutaneous trans-hepatic cholangiography fails.
