Percutaneous transhepatic bile drainage was performed in 13 patients with obstructive jaundice, using a combination of the PTC technique and a Seldinger angiography catheter. In 11 cases, the outflow of bile through the catheter was satisfactory and complications were few. Since the risk of the procedure is low and it can be done without laparotomy, it is an ideal technic for biliary decompression before attempting to do a resection. Also, repeated cholangiography through a catheter which is left in place is helpful as a diagnostic aid before and after surgery.
