Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography with selective catheterization of the common bile duct.

Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography was performed in 86 patients with juandice in whom the diagnosis could not be established by conventional means. Selective catheterization of the common bile duct was employed and cholangiograms of high quality were obtained. In cases of obstruction of the biliary passages, the catheter was left indwelling centrally in the biliary passages for external bile drainage. Thus immediate postcholangiogram surgery was not required in these patients. The procedure was successful in all 60 patients with obstructive jaundice. In 26 patients the possibility of obstruction was ruled out. Complications occurred in four patients but were not exclusively due to the procedure. The incidence of complications may be maintained at an acceptably low level if the technique is meticulously followed.

Experiences with the Linton-Nachlas and the Sengstaken-Blakemore tubes for bleeding esophageal varices.

A controlled clinical trial was begun to compare the effectiveness of the Sengstaken-Blakemore tube with that of the Linton-Nachlas tube in the emergency treatment of bleeding esophageal varices. The investigation was prematurely terminated after two lethal complications with the Linton-Nachlas tube. At that time, 28 patients with 42 bleeding episodes were included. Twenty-seven were treated with the Sengstaken-Blakemore tube, with bleeding being controlled in 20; 15 were treated with the Linton-Nachlas tube, with bleeding being controlled in six. No significant statistical difference was found between the two tubes, 0.05 less than p less than 0.1, but the results encourage the use of Sengstaken-Blakemore tube in preference to the Linton-Nachlas tube, except in patients with a hiatal hernia or bleeding from fundic varices.
