Transcatheter digital subtraction cholanglography

Description

Imaging of the residual lumen of an obstructed common bile duct facilitates conversion of external to internal biliary drainage. Digital subtraction cholangiography was superior to fluroscopic spot films in five of 10 patients and equal in four of 10 patients; in one patient, both methods failed. Digital subtraction cholangiography also revealed a small bilial venous fistula and a stenotic intraphepatic duct. Pixel shift artifacts facilitate localization of catheter side holes
