Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage (PTBD)
Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage (PTBD) is a medical procedure for diagnosis or treatment of a bile duct obstruction. The objective of the procedure is to locate the obstruction and/or to insert a temporary catheter to drain the bile. This is an option for patients who would like to avoid surgery or for whom surgery would be too risky as this procedure has fewer side effects than surgery.
