[Results of transjugular antegrade cholangiography and retrograde portography (author's transl)].
Via the jugular approach to the liver diagnosis of the liver could be extended by transjugular cholangiography, liver biopsy and retrograde portography. Transjugular cholangiography makes possible an antegrade picture of the bile ducts - particularly when conventional techniques or retrograde measures fail. 85% of blocked bile ducts were recognized. Transjugular liver biopsy complements cholangiography. Tissue can be removed from right and left lobes of the liver. Retrograde portography makes possible assessment of hemodynamics of the liver in portal hypertension before and after shunt operations. Isolated pictures of portal circulation in the right or left lobes permits clear allocation of tumorous or parasitical disease in the respective parts of the liver. This is of special importance for surgery of the liver, a precondition of hemihepatectomy.
