Interventional radiology (IR) has a growing role in managing patients with malignant/benign strictures and bile leaks. IR was historically limited to decompressing the biliary system using drains and stents. Choledochoscopy has increased the role of IR in patients with “chronic biliary drains” to minimize drain duration and improve quality of life. Cholangioscopic biopsies, lithotripsy, endobiliary ablation, laser stricturotomy, and stenting (plastic and metal) will be discussed. A 30-minute multidisciplinary discussion on case management will be the highlight.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participants will have an understanding of the various tools and options to alieviate biliary obstruction due to both benign and malignant etiologies.
Upon completion the participatnt will be able to evaluate which technique (surgical, endoscopic, percutaneous) is most appropriate for biliary intervention depending on the indication for intervention and level of obstruction
Upon completion the participant will learn the capabilities of percutaneous cholangioscopy
