(World Journal of Gastroenterology) A research team from Taiwan identified factors that were related to the short term effectiveness of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage in cholangiocarcinoma patients and evaluated the impact of palliative drainage on their survival.

They found the short term effectiveness of percutaneous biliary drainage was related to patient's prothrombin time or the extent of tumor involvement.

It, however, had no impact on survival.
