Percutaneous transcholecystic cholangiography was performed in three patients with normal-sized bile ducts and suspected obstructive jaundice, and it was performed 14 times in eight normal dogs. In every instance there was good demonstration of both the intra- and extrahepatic biliary tree. There were no significant clinical complications. Transcholecystic cholangiography is a technically easy, valuable alternative to transhepatic cholangiography for opacification of nondilated bile ducts.
