Experience Matters: Impact on Technical Success and Complication Rate in Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage
Medical centers adopting PTBD procedures can potentially increase their success rate significantly within a short period of time. PTBD is a safe procedure, with left-sided approaches showing lower complication rates and radiation exposure, underscoring their often-underestimated advantages in clinical practice.
