    AbstractA 24 year-old woman complained of obstructive jaundice 24 days after blunt abdominal trauma due to a traffic accident. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) revealed a stricture, 15 mm in length, at the common bile duct associated with upper bile duct dilatation. Jaundice was reduced by percutaneous transhepatic cholangio-drainage (PTCD). A 7 Fr-sized PTCD tube was exchanged for a larger-sized catheter for percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy expecting gradual dilatation of the stricture. Following the confirmation of satisfactory dilatation of the stricture, the catheter was removed. There was no recurrence of jaundice 16 months later in a follow-up study.
