Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography using a very thin needle has been performed in 885 patients with a variety of underlying hepatic, biliary, and pancreatic disorders. The procedure was successful in 99% of the patients with dilated intrahepatic bile ducts and in 85% of those with non-dilated ducts. Complications which required surgical intervention occurred only in two cases (0.2%). In patients with obstructive jaundice, external bile drainage was performed immediately after visualization of the bile duct. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography is an extremely useful and safe method for investigating disorders of the biliary tract, for localizing the cause of obstructive jaundice, and for reducing the degree of jaundice and improving the general status of patients with obstructive jaundice.
