Understanding Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiography

Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiography or PTC is an interventional procedure employed to diagnose as well as manage conditions affecting the bile duct. During the procedure, a thin needle is inserted through the skin into the liver and the contrast dye is passed into the bile ducts. This makes it possible to take pictures of the bile ducts to show the presence of obstruction, narrowing or any other problem.

PTC also has a therapeutic use for instance placing of stents to unlock the blockage, or for instance in cases of infections doing a bile drainage. It is an essential process in the diagnosis and treatment of different pathologies of the biliary tract in the patient.

Common Causes of Bile Duct Abnormalities

Conditions requiring Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiography often arise from:

• Gallstones: Gallstones that end up obstructing the bile duct and lead to the condition of jaundice.

• Biliary Strictures: Pathological constriction of the bile ducts either secondary to surgery, trauma or inflammation.

• Cholangiocarcinoma: Cancer of the bile ducts that may cause obstruction of the bile.

• Pancreatic Tumors: Percussing or invading the bile ducts.

• Infections: Cholangitis that results in swelling and obstruction for instance.

• Congenital Abnormalities: Congenital variations of the bile ducts that are observed in people since birth.

These diseases should be diagnosed and treated at an early stage to avoid such complications such as severe infections or liver disorders.
