Abstract

Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography was attempted on 102 occasions at the Ochsner Foundation Hospital from 1952 to 1972. The biliary system was demonstrated in 80 (78%) patients and biliary ducts were dilated in 73 (72%). Percutaneous cholangiography was successful in 68 (93%). Complications occurred in 7 (7%) patients; there were no deaths. Of 1629 procedures reported in the literature, 74% were successful; there were only 4 deaths (0.25%) and 82 complications (5%).
