Obstructive jaundice secondary to hilar mass

This was a middle aged lady with a large right ovarian mass and obstructive jaundice caused by a mass lesion in the hilar region. She was extremely obese and couldn't lie prone. We did the procedure in the left lateral position. Initial contrast injection showed a sharp cutoff at tue levelcof cystic duct (A: green arrow). The guidewire was passed beyond the stricture followed by contrast injection which outlined a dilated left system with no contrast going into the right system (B: green arrow). We dilated the stricture with a 9F dilatation catheter followed by placement of a 10F x 12cm plastic stent (C & D: green arrow).
