ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of percutaneous transhepatic biliary biopsy (PTBB) in patients with suspected biliary obstruction. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 18 patients with obstructive jaundice who underwent PTBB. In each patient, three to ten fragments were collected from the lesion. The final diagnosis was confirmed in the pathology report. We also reviewed analyses of the results of laboratory tests performed before the procedure, as well as the Bismuth classification, clinical outcome, complications occurring during the procedure, access route, and materials used. Results: Technical success was achieved in 100% of the PTBB procedures. Among the 18 patients clinically diagnosed with bile duct stenosis, the pathological analysis confirmed that diagnosis in 17. In one case, the pathological findings were considered false-negative. The predominant tumor was cholangiocarcinoma (seen in 50% of the cases). Sixteen of the procedures (88.9%) were performed without complications. Transient hemobilia occurred in one case, and cholangitis occurred in another. Conclusion: PTBB is a safe, viable, simple technique with a high rate of true-positive results for the definitive diagnosis of obstructive jaundice.


Resumo Objetivo: Avaliar a precisão diagnóstica da colangiobiópsia trans-hepática percutânea (CBTP) em pacientes com suspeita de obstrução biliar. Materiais e Métodos: Análise retrospectiva de 18 pacientes apresentando icterícia obstrutiva foram submetidos a CBTP. Em cada paciente, 3 a 10 fragmentos foram coletados da lesão. O diagnóstico final foi confirmado por relatório anatomopatológico. Adicionalmente, foram registrados a análise laboratorial antes do procedimento, a classificação de Bismuth, o desfecho clínico, as intercorrências durante o procedimento, a via de acesso e os materiais utilizados. Resultados: A CBTP apresentou sucesso técnico em 100% dos casos. Dos 18 pacientes clinicamente diagnosticados com estenose biliar, 17 receberam diagnóstico patológico positivo. Em um caso os achados patológicos foram considerados falso-negativos. O colangiocarcinoma foi a neoplasia predominante (50%). Dezesseis (88,9%) procedimentos foram realizados sem intercorrências. Hemobilia transitória ocorreu em um caso e colangite em outro caso isolado. Conclusão: A CBTP é uma técnica segura, viável e simples, com alta taxa de verdadeiro-positivos para o diagnóstico definitivo de causas de icterícia obstrutiva.
