Choledochoduodenostomy for Biliary Drainage of Malignant Obstruction after Failed Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography

Clinical Applications of Three-Dimensional Visualization Model of Arteries Supplying the Extrahepatic Bile Duct for Patients with Biliary Obstruction

“…Liver transplantation data and increased knowledge regarding the blood vessels supplying bile tract have revealed that damage of arteries supplying the extrahepatic bile duct is closely associated with such complications. [1][2][3][4][5] However, since the arteries supplying the extrahepatic bile duct originate from numerous regions and show complex variations, previous studies were mainly limited to human cadaveric specimens and animal models, [6][7][8][9] and relatively few reports have focused on human arteries supplying the extrahepatic bile duct. Meanwhile, the arteries supplying the extrahepatic bile duct under the pathological condition of bile tract obstruction are more complex.…”
