[A new instrument for catheter introduction for angiographic and percutaneous transhepatic examinations (author's transl)].

An instrument is described which can be used in the femoral or axillary approach using the Seldinger technique, and which has been found to be satisfactory during several years' use. Its advantages are that it is easy to use and the necessary technique is easily acquired; catheters can be changed painlessly and without damaging the artery; thinner catherters can be introduced without producing bleeding and the space between the instrument and the catheter can be perfused. The instrument has also proved valuable for percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage or portography by preventing buckling of the catheter at the costal chest/liver interface.

[Percutaneous transhepatic drainage of the biliary tract for preoperative and palliative therapy of obstructive biliary lesions (author's transl)].

The percutaneous transhepatic catheterisation is an important method in the management of obstructive jaundice. The results of the percutaneous transhepatic drainage - external and internal - in 14 patients are reported. The technique is described and the difficulties, complications, indications and contraindications are discussed. The value of this procedure is the temporary decompression of the obstructed biliary tract prior to radical surgery or as a palliation in patients with non-operable tumors; the risk of the procedure is low.

[Technique of percutaneous transhepatic drainage of the bile ducts and its spectrum of application (author's transl)].

Percutaneous transhepatic drainage (PTD) -- internal or external -- is an important method in the treatment of obstructive jaundice. Its value rests in the temporary relief of obstructions of the bile ducts before surgery, or in the palliative treatment of patients with inoperable tumours. The article describes the technique, indications, complications and difficulties. The authors' own experience is based on 19 successful percutaneous transhepatic drainages. The method is easy to apprehend and has a low complication rate.

[Roentgen diagnosis of renal tuberculosis (author's transl)].

Roentgenologic procedures are of limited value, compared with other possible examinations. Early radiologic diagnosis is made rarely. Roentgenologic procedures are important for demonstration of successful treatment and for legal documentation. Excretory urography is effective only in combination with zonography and ureteral compression provided the amount of injected contrast medium is sufficient. Angiography is important in progressive or silent renal tuberculosis, especially in cases of a partial or complete non-functioning kidney. Difficulities in differential diagnosis are possible in unspecific pyelonephritis and malignant tumors.
