  Background: Percutaneous Biliary Cholangiography (PC) is the first step in a commonly employed technique utilized by interventional radiologist to relieve biliary obstruction via biliary stenting and drainage. A narrow gauge 22 gauge Chiba needle is utilized to gain access into the biliary tree via the right or left hepatic duct, followed by biliary imaging and intervention. Occasionally, access is limited into the biliary tree utilizing traditional methods due to decompression, variant anatomy, or other complications. Materials and methods: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT), and Flouroscopic images detail a case of a novel trans-cholecystic approach of biliary stenting and drainage in a patient with poor access to traditional methods and poor surgical candidate. Additionally, a full work up of the patient is presented to explain the presenting symptoms. Detai.. View More»
