Percutaneous Hepaticojejunostomy Using a Radiofrequency Wire for Management of a Postoperative Bile Leak.
Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology 2017 January
Postoperative biliary complications following extensive hepatic resections are complex, often requiring a multidisciplinary team approach. We describe a case of a free bile duct leak following extended right hepatectomy and surgical hepaticojejunostomy treated with percutaneous transhepatic hepaticojejunostomy in which a radiofrequency guidewire was used to gain enteral access. A modified internal/external biliary catheter was left in place. The patient was enrolled in a benign biliary stricture protocol, and 8 months later, the catheter was removed following a normal cholangiogram and biliary manometric perfusion testing. At 3-month follow-up after catheter removal, the patient is asymptomatic with no clinical, biochemical, or radiographic evidence of biliary leak or obstruction.
