Comparative Outcomes of Ultrasound-Guided Versus Fluoroscopy-Guided Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage (PTBD) Due to Malignant Obstructive Jaundice: A Single-Center Retrospective Analysis
Background: Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) remains a cornerstone in managing obstructive jaundice, particularly when endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is unsuccessful or contraindicated. This study aims to compare ultrasound-guided (US-PTBD) and fluoroscopy-guided (F-PTBD) techniq...
