abstract: The authors suggest a method for decompression of the biliary system in obstructive jaundice with bile drainage blocked at a high level. The method consists in catheterization of the bile ducts through the lumen of the umbilical vein dilated by bougienage. The efficacy and safety of the method were proved in 15 cases. No complications were encountered.
