Treatment of biliary fistula by percutaneous transhepatic drainage. Case report.
Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage was performed in two patients with bile-duct injury resulting from surgery. A fistula healed without surgical intervention in both cases. This type of drainage seems to be therapeutically suitable for selected cases of iatrogenic bile duct lesion.
