Abstract:
Malignant biliary tract obstruction is a common disease.Nowadays,endoscopic biliary drainage (EBD) and percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) have been used to treat such disease.EBD is a first-line intervention for lower segment of biliary duct obstruction caused by pancreatic cancer or other tumors.PTBD is a first-line treatment for gallbladder cancer or other tumors which lead to the hilar and intrahepatic bile duct obstruction and abnormal digestive anatomy.In a word,the proper selection of the drainage should be based on the patients' condition with minimal trauma and maximum therapeutic effect.
