Percutaneous transcholecystic cholangiography was performed in three patients with normal-sized bile ducts and suspected obstructive jaundice, and it was performed 14 times in eight normal dogs. In every instance there was good demonstration of both the intra- and extrahepatic biliary tree. There were no significant clinical complications. Transcholecystic cholangiography is a technically easy, valuable alternative to transhepatic cholangiography for opacification of nondilated bile ducts.

Effectiveness and complication rates of percutaneous transhepatic fluoroscopy-guided management of common bile duct stones: a single-arm meta-analysis.

Objectives: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the success and complication rate of percutaneous transhepatic fluoroscopy-guided management (PTFM) for the removal of common bile duct stones (CBDS).
Methods: A comprehensive literature search of multiple databases was conducted to identify original articles published between January 2010 and June 2022, reporting the success rate of PTFM for the removal of CBDS. A random-effect model was used to summarize the pooled rates of success and complications with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of using balloon ampulloplasty for managing extrahepatic duct stones in patients who aren't suitable for standard procedures like ERCP or PTBD.
- A total of 41 patients were included, with a high technical success rate of 80.5% using the transcholecystic approach, while achieving an overall clinical success rate of 97.6% without major complications.
- Results suggest that this method is a viable alternative for patients with difficult cases, allowing for subsequent procedures like cholecystectomy without post-procedural issues.
Transcholecystic approach for distal common bile duct stricture in a non-dilated biliary system: an alternative route.

A 63-year-old patient was admitted to intensive treatment unit with biliary sepsis due to a small distal common bile duct stone. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was initially attempted for insertion of a biliary stent but failed due to the presence of a periampullary diverticulum. Referral to interventional radiology for percutaneous drainage was considered the next alternative even though there was no dilatation of intrahepatic ducts.

Purpose To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous transcholecystic removal of common bile duct (CBD) stones in 114 patients. Materials and Methods This retrospective study was approved by the institutional review board. From September 2011 through February 2017, 114 consecutive patients (68 men, 46 women; mean age, 73 years) underwent percutaneous transcholecystic removal of CBD stones.
