[Stenosis of the left hepatic duct with intrahepatic lithiasis: treatment by the percutaneous transhepatic approach].

The authors report the case of a 78-year-old woman suffering from cholangitis secondary to intrahepatic biliary stricture and intrahepatic lithiasis. Successful management consisted of successive percutaneous transhepatic internal-external biliary drainage, balloon dilatation of the stricture and gallstone mobilisation and removal through the stricture. No complications were noted.
