title: [Fine-needle percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography. 84 cases].
abstract: The authors report the results of 84 percutaneous transhepatic cholangiographies using a fine needle, describing the technique. Beyond the context of jaundice, failure of or inadequate opravenous cholangiography requires the use of other radiological techniques. By virtue of its simplicity, its usually good tolerance and its results, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography has a place of choice in these indications. Its value in comparison with other non-surgical methods of direct opacification of the biliary tract is discussed.
