Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients who consent for the study. 2. Age 18 to 70 years. 3. Good performance status (ECOG 0, 1, 2). 4. Diagnosis of malignant hilar block with obstructive jaundice requiring biliary drainage.

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Compare the safety of unilateral versus bilateral percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage by evaluating non-occurrence of cholangitis, early and late complications. 2. To compare clinically successful drainage in unilateral versus bilateral percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage groups. Timepoint: on follow up—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To compare the technical success of unilateral versus bilateral percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. 2. Compare the quality of life post procedure. 3. To compare time taken for and completeness of relief of pruritis. Timepoint: on follow up—
