Successful percutaneous drainage of pyogenic liver abscess complicated by bronchobiliary fistula. 1987

T V Bilfinger, and K T Oldham, and T E Lobe, and S Barron, and C K Hayden

We have used percutaneous transhepatic drainage of pyogenic hepatic abscesses with good result. This technique has been used effectively in adults by several authors. We believe this report represents the first instance of successful percutaneous drainage of a pyogenic liver abscess complicated by a bronchobiliary fistula.
