Abstract
Interventional radiology in patients with liver diseases involves the use of invasive procedures. These patients often have overt and urgent clinical presentations. For example, jaundice due to biliary obstruction is readily visible in the patient who has been referred for transhepatic cholangiography (THC). The clinical and laboratory evaluation are completed prior to the intervention. For the jaundiced patient, an ultrasound or a computed tomography (CT) scan is used to diagnose biliary ductal dilatation. The precise cause of the obstruction, if not explained by the noninvasive modalities, leads to an invasive procedure. The endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram (ERCP) is the initial invasive procedure of choice, but failure to catheterize the biliary duct would require a THC.
