Abstract
Six of seven patients were treated with external beam radiation, iridium-192 internal radiation and neodymium-YAG laser therapy via a percutaneous transhepatic tract for relief of biliary obstruction. After laser therapy, the transhepatic catheters were removed and patients remained tube-free and non-jaundiced for periods ranging from 1 to 20 months.
