Table 4 Comparison between the different imaging-guided percutaneous drainage procedures and their success rate in patients with biliary obstruction

Type of procedure	No. of procedures	Successful procedures (n)	Success rate (%)
Fluoroscopy-guided drainage	16	10	62.5
US-guided drainage	13	7	46.15
CT-guided drainage	30	28	93.33¹

¹The success rate in patients drained by computed tomography (CT)-guidance was highly significant in comparison to ultrasonography (US)-guided drainage (P = 0.002) and to those drained under fluoroscopy (P = 0.026).
