Ultrasonography is often used to diagnose biliary diseases in dogs; however, it is difficult to delineate the entire bile and pancreatic ducts. Various imaging techniques for bile and pancreatic ducts have been attempted to overcome this problem. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is often used to evaluate the bile and pancreatic ducts in humans with obstructive jaundice, but very few reports exist on its usage in dogs.

Objectives: To analyze the efficacy and influencing factors of percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography and biliary drainage (PTCD) in patients with malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ).
Methods: The study included 151 MOJ patients admitted from January 2021 to January 2024. Seventy patients in the control group received endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), while 81 patients in the research group underwent PTCD.
Introduction: Reports of pseudoaneurysms associated with biliary self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement have been increasing. Recently, cases of hepatic pseudoaneurysm rupture caused by double pigtail plastic stents (DPS) have also been reported. The symptoms of pseudoaneurysms are often non-specific, and many cases are diagnosed only after rupture.
