Article Title: Palliative percutaneous biliary interventions in malignant high bile duct obstruction
Abstract: The optimal palliative intervention for malignant biliary obstruction is internal drainage by placement of a metallic stent. For patients with hilar biliary obstruction or low bile duct obstruction in whom endoscopy is not feasible, a percutaneous transhepatic approach in interventional radiology is preferred. This article reviews the rationale for this approach, periprocedural management, and techniques to optimize stent patency. © 2017 by Thieme Medical Publishers.
