A new technique for transhepatic liver tract dilatation. An aid in transhepatic portography. 1978

R Pereiras, and W Miers, and D Hutson, and M Viamonte

Transhepatic portography is frequently difficult or unsuccessful in cirrhotic patients because of catheter friction by the fibrotic liver and the presence of ascites. The authors describe a technique of liver tract dilatation which circumvents these difficulties.
