It is helpful to observe residual stones or other diseases in the bile duct and to understand the patency of the bile duct and duodenum. PTD is an interventional radiotherapy technology developed on the basis of PTC. If the biliary system is combined with ultrasound and conventional X-ray examination, it can diagnose most biliary tract diseases with high accuracy, less false positives, and no trauma to patients.

Intrahepatic bile duct expansion of more than 0.6cm, puncture is easy to succeed, with 18G guide needle, 22G puncture needle. 4. When the puncture is successful, the bile is discharged from the needle core, and the bile is discharged or drawn, and then the catheter is drained or X-ray contrast agent is injected. 5. Operation of indwelling catheter: There is a plastic sleeve at the puncture needle. After successful puncture, push the plastic sleeve into the bile duct as much as possible, pay attention to keep the drainage smooth, then pull out the puncture needle, and connect the end of the plastic sleeve with the drainage tube, and Fixed to the skin. 6.
