Combined percutaneous-endoscopic approach for biliary endoprosthesis placement. Indian Journal of Gastroenterology. 1997 Oct; 16(4): 149-50http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/65665A nonoperative method of palliation was used in four patients with malignant obstructive jaundice in whom biliary endoprosthesis could not be placed endoscopically. A guide wire was manipulated through the lesion by a percutaneous transhepatic route and retrieved from the duodenum through an endoscope. A 10 Fr stent was then passed through the endoscope over the guide wire across the stricture. The procedure was successful in all four patients, with no complication.engAgedCholestasis, Extrahepatic --etiologyEquipment DesignFemaleHumansLaparoscopesMaleMiddle AgedPalliative CareStentsJournal Article
