Fluoroscopic percutaneous brush cytology, forceps biopsy and both in tandem for diagnosis of malignant biliary obstruction

Abstract: • Tandem procedure improves sensitivity compared to brush cytology and forceps biopsy. • Brush cytology may help to overcome "crush artefacts" from forceps biopsy. • The cost per diagnosed malignancy may warrant tandem procedure in all patients.

“…The results of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of the biliary system are inferior to those of FNAB of other sites (2) . Therefore, other techniques for obtaining histological samples have been developed for use in the biliary tract (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) .…”

“…Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD), in addition to being a well-established technique for the treatment of obstructive jaundice, provides adequate access for the sampling of obstructive lesions. In cases of biliary lesions, forceps biopsy during PTBD is a good diagnostic technique, with a reported accuracy of over 90% at some referral centers (3,4) .…”
