The interventional treatment for biliary recurrent obstruction after palliative T tube drainage in patients with obstruction due to cholangiocarcinoma / 介入放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the interventional method to treat biliary recurrent jaundice after T tube drainage in patients with malignant obstructive jaundice due to cholangiocarcinoma. Methods 7 bili ary metallic stents were placed in 7 patients with recurrent jaundice after T tube drainage in cholangiocarcinoma cases. Results Stent placement was once successful in all 7 cases with successful rate of 100%. For all cases, TBIL,ALT,GTP and AKP values 7 days postoperatively were significantly lower than that of preoperation together with subsidence of jaundice satisfactorily for 100% after the treatment.Conclusions Percutaneous placement of biliary metallic stents was effective economic, minimal invasive and safe for palliation of biliary recurrent jaundice after T tube drainage in cholangiocarcinoma induced obstructive jaundice.
