AbstractPercutaneous biliary endoscopy (PBE), also known as cholangioscopy, represents a significant advancement in the field of interventional radiology. This technique offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery or peroral approaches for a range of biliary diseases, including stone clearance, biliary stricture/mass evaluation, and biopsies, making it particularly valuable in the management of complex biliary pathologies.
