Obstructive jaundice caused by metastasis of lung cancer to distal common bile duct (CBD) is extremely rare. Here, we report a 70-year-old man presented with progressive jaundice and generalized weakness for 1 month. He had a medical history of stage IIB (pT2N1M0) lung adenocarcinoma, for which he had undergone surgical treatment and subsequent adjuvant chemotherapy 3 years ago. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) rev

Biliary tract interventions remain indispensable procedures for treatment of a wide arena of biliary tract pathologies. The increased use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for biliary tract evaluation and intervention has resulted in fewer patients requiring percutaneous transhepatic biliary interventions. However, there remains a subset of patients in whom ERCP is not feasible. Interventional radiologists play an important role in the management of biliary pathologies in such patients who cannot be benefited by endoscopic means. These interventions may at times be challenging; hence, awareness of normal and variant biliary tract anatomy and the variety of biliary tract interventions make the job easy. This article reviews the role of percutaneous transhepatic interventions in the management of a variety of biliary tract diseases, both benign and malignant, general indications and contraindications, preprocedural evaluation, and technical considerations specific to indications.
