[Antegrade visualization of the billiary duct system by percutaneous transjugular cholangiography (author's transl)]. 1976

H Huchzermeyer, and G Luska, and J Freuschmidt

Percutaneous transjugular cholangiography (PTJC) is a new technique for visualization of the biliary duct system and for diagnosis of obstructive jaundice. First experiences of the authors in 22 patients are described. The advantages and disadvantages of this procedure, which at the present time is used rather rarely, are discussed and compared to various other cholangiographic methods. The endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) was used for patients with obstructive jaundice of unknown origine in the first place. If the biliary duct system could not be visualized by ERC (failure of complete obstruction of the common bile duct), the antegrade technique (PTJC) was performed. The peritoneoscopic and the transjugular cholangiography yield about the same percentage of positive results (90%), as far as visualization of the biliary tree is concerned. However in contrast to the peritoneoscopic methods PTJC seems to bear a smaller risk of complications. Some further diagnostic and therapeutical advantages, which might result from the use of PTJC are pointed out.

D010190	Pancreatic Neoplasms	Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).

D002404	Catheterization	Use or insertion of a tubular device into a duct, blood vessel, hollow organ, or body cavity for injecting or withdrawing fluids for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It differs from INTUBATION in that the tube here is used to restore or maintain patency in obstructions.	Cannulation,Cannulations,Catheterizations
D002758	Cholangiography	An imaging test of the BILIARY TRACT in which a contrast dye (RADIOPAQUE MEDIA) is injected into the BILE DUCT and x-ray pictures are taken.	Cholangiographies
D002769	Cholelithiasis	Presence or formation of GALLSTONES in the BILIARY TRACT, usually in the gallbladder (CHOLECYSTOLITHIASIS) or the common bile duct (CHOLEDOCHOLITHIASIS).	Gallstone Disease,Cholelithiases,Gallstone Diseases
