Thecauses of obstructive jaundice was CBD Ca in 13 cases, metastasis in 2 cases, pancreatic cancer in 1 case and CBDstone in 1 case. Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage is a relatively easy, safe and effective method whichcan be done after PTC by radiologist. It is expected that percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage should bedone as an essential procedure for transient or permanent palliation of obstructive jaundice.
