[Interventional radiology in non-neoplastic diseases of the biliary tract. A report on 93 personal cases].
Most references in the literature on interventional radiology of the biliary tract refer to the treatment of cancer; only occasionally are benign conditions mentioned. An updated list of useful radiosurgical instruments on the market in Italy is presented. The operating technique from the preparation of the patient to the performance of percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC), biliary drainage, transhepatic bilioplasty, percutaneous extraction and chemical cholelitholisis of biliary calculi and drainage of biliary collections is then described. A personal series is then presented. It consists of 93 patients in whom one or more of the following conditions were diagnosed: exclusively intrahepatic calculosis (3 cases), calculosis of the common bile duct (23 percutaneous treatments), empyema of the gallbladder (6 cases), suppurating cholangitis (46 cases), sclerotic or inflammatory stenosis (16 cases), biliary collections (14 cases). Results are reported and commented on.
