| Abstract Background: Malignant biliary obstruction has a bad prognosis and adverse effect on the quality of life, with most of those patients are inoperable at time of diagnosis. Patients who underwent whipple operation may develop anastomotic site (choledocho-jujenostomy) stenosis with subsequent ele-vated bilirubin level and related complications. Aim of Study: This prospective study will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy of different modalities of interventional radiological and imaging procedures as Percutaneous Trans hepatic Cholangiography (PTC), Percutaneous Trans hepatic Drainage (PTD) and biliary stenting in management of patients with malignant obstructive jaundice. Patients and Methods: This study was conducted on 30 patients (19 males and 11 females) with mean age of 56 years, 28 of 30 patients (93.3%) are non operable and the other 2 of 30 patients (6.7%) operated patients for choledocho-jujenostomy stenosis were subjected to intervention techniques. 10 of 30 patients (33.3%) underwent percutaneous external biliary drainage, 15 of 30 patients (50%) underwent percuta-neous stent insertion (8 of 30 patients (26.7%) with metallic stents & 7 of 30 patients (23.3%) with plastic stents), 3 of 30 patients (10%) underwent internal external drainage and 2 of 30 patients (6.66%) underwent biliary drainage through combined (randez-voux) technique. Results: High success rate (86.6%) with reduction of total bilirubin level was observed in metallic stenting group of patients. Conclusion: Biliary intervention procedures help to reduce high bilirubin level, bypass obstruction level and help in dilatation of post-operative stenosis site. | ||
