Abstract
Nasobiliary drainage catheters allow effective decompression and flushing in cases with cholangitis and obstructive jaundice. Here the author describes the technique in a patient with obstructing cholangiocarcinoma and severe cholangiosepsis. The key learning point from this procedure is that a combination of a plastic endoprosthesis with a nasobiliary tube allows continuous lavage of the bile ducts as an optimal treatment for suppurative cholangitis.
