Core Tip

Core Tip: Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) are an effective and safe way to treat patients with high benign biliary strictures. The first step is to consider PTBD in cases of high benign biliary strictures. Only when minimally invasive procedures are ineffective should reconstructive procedures be considered.
