Summary
The provider creates a new percutaneous (through the skin) access through the biliary tract and into the small intestine using ultrasound and/or fluoroscopy, imaging technologies that display live images on a video monitor. He performs this procedure because access could not be established during an initial attempt at an endoscopic biliary procedure. He may also perform diagnostic cholangiography, a radiological procedure to image the inside of the bile ducts by injecting a contrast dye into the bile ducts. The procedure also includes all associated radiological supervision and interpretation.
