Percutaneous cholangioplasty is a commonly performed procedure for both benign and malignant diseases.

There are situations when alternative routes can be utilized to access the common bile duct (CBD). We accessed the CBD via T-tube placed surgically in a 57-year-old man who had obstructive jaundice of obscure etiology which was likely inflammatory.
