08/01/2012 - "This technique is safe and effective and is recommended for histological diagnosis during PTBD in patients with inoperable malignant biliary strictures. "
11/01/2002 - "Images from RDC and 3DC are helpful in guiding PTBD procedures and for better diagnosis in selected patients with hilar biliary duct stenoses."
12/01/2015 - "PTBD followed by balloon dilation and internal drainage may be an effective treatment for anastomotic biliary stricture after pediatric LDLT with RYHJ."
06/01/2015 - "For progressive stenosis of bil-PAB sites, PTBD using a balloon size that did not exceed the BC (BD around 30% of the BC) was an effective and safe procedure."
01/01/2017 - "STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA:: Studies evaluating the efficacy of EUS-BD and comparing EUS-BD versus PTBD in inoperable malignant biliary stricture patients with a failed ERCP were included in this analysis. "

11/01/2022 - "Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) is an effective treatment for benign and malignant obstructive jaundice. "
03/01/2008 - "Percutaneous biliary drainage and stenting (PTBD) for palliation of malignant obstructive jaundice has evolved to a safe and effective technique. "
11/01/2021 - "Our study was to investigate the association between low skeletal-muscle index and overall survival (OS) after percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) for obstructive jaundice due to PHC. "
04/01/2021 - "The aim of this study was to examine the impact of PTBD on clinical outcomes of patients with malignant obstructive jaundice undergoing LPD. "
01/01/2020 - "In this IRB-approved study, 64 consecutive patients with malignant obstructive jaundice were prospectively randomized to the right (group A) or left access (group B) for PTBD between February 2017 and December 2018. "

03/01/2022 - "PTBD is a safe and effective method to relieve jaundice caused by advanced inoperable malignant disease. "
12/01/1996 - "PTBD decreased the jaundice and relieved the symptoms caused by biliary tract obstruction. "
02/01/1990 - "Immediate relief from symptoms and progressive resolution of jaundice was achieved by percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD). "
05/01/2021 - "Preoperative EBD may be superior to PTBD in M0 GBC patients with jaundice, although further studies are needed."
05/01/2021 - "The 5-year survival and peritoneal recurrence rates in M0 patients with jaundice were 16% and 44%, respectively, for patients with PTBD and 39% (p < 0.05) and 13% (p = 0.07) for those with EBD. "

11/01/2009 - "This study was designed to evaluate the clinical outcome and predictive factors of survival in patients who underwent percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) for malignant biliary obstruction caused by metastatic gastric cancer. "
11/01/2014 - "According to our experience the SA represents a valid alternative to PTBD in the case of lymph node recurrence of gastric cancer, being favoured for patients with better performance status and longer life expectancy."
05/01/2012 - "We retrospectively assessed 117 patients who underwent percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) between January 2005 and December 2009, for treatment of malignant biliary obstructions caused by metastatic gastric cancer. "
11/01/2009 - "PTBD with metallic stent placement is a safe and effective palliation for patients with malignant biliary obstruction caused by metastatic gastric cancer. "
01/01/2019 - "Given the relative severity of adverse events in the PTBD group, EUS-BD might be the procedure of choice for gastric cancer patients with contraindications by inability to perform ERCP."

12/01/2001 - "A total of 24 patients who had experienced obstructive cholestasis and had undergone preoperative PTBD were included in the study. "
12/01/2021 - "Compared to patients treated endoscopically, patients with PTBD had a lower performance status, more severe cholestasis and a significant higher rate of malignant underlying disease. "
01/01/2021 - "For patients with advanced MHBSs, bilateral stenting may achieve a better drainage effect than unilateral stenting, and PTBD may have a better performance in relieving cholestasis than EBS. "
11/01/2020 - "The patient underwent PTBD (Figure 1) but had persistent cholestasis. "
02/14/2018 - "We aim to compare percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) to endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) as the first intervention in patients with cholestasis due to suspected malignant hilar obstruction (MHO). "
