ABSTRACT
Intraductal cooling via a percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage tube holds great promise in facilitating thermal ablation of liver tumors adjacent to the central bile ducts. However, the difficulties and complications associated with puncturing nondilated bile ducts are greater than those associated with puncturing dilated bile ducts. As reported here, percutaneous transcholecystic contrast-enhanced ultrasound was performed in 7 patients to visualize the nondilated bile ducts and guide percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage, thus facilitating the intraductal cooling-assisted thermal ablation process. The procedures were technically successful in all 7 patients, and no major complications were recorded during the follow-up period.
