Abstract

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) was unsuccessfully used as a biliary contrast agent in 9 of 10 patients undergoing percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography prior to biliary drainage. The technique involved hand injection of 10-20 cc CO₂ through the Chiba needle in an attempt to fill preferentially the anterior biliary radicals. Although CO₂ remains a useful agent in many instances, paricularly for percutaneous nephrostomy, its usefulness in the biliary tract is severely limited.
