Biliary PTC stent




 

Radiological Report : Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiogram :

Biliary Bile Duct Stent : Initial fine needle puncture close to the hilum, reveals very dilated tortuous bile ducts down to a short stricture in the head of the pancreas. A second guided puncture was made into a right duct and a guide wire negotiated through the stricture.

A 70mm x 10mm Wallstent was placed from the common hepatic duct to the duodenum and dilated to 7mm.

There was good immediate drainage so no external drain was needed.
