Core Tip	Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) offers a valuable alternative for access to the biliary system when endoscopic biliary drainage is impossible or infeasible. PTBD is generally performed in jaundiced patients with dilated bile ducts (BDs). However, some patients inevitably require PTBD even in the absence of dilated BD. Achieving needle access to the non-dilated BD is a challenging procedure. The present study reported on detailed technical aspects of peripheral portal vein-oriented BD puncture for PTBD in patients with non-dilated BDs, and also examined the safety and success rates of this procedure.
