Imaging of a performed percutaneous-transhepatic-endoscopic rendezvous procedure (PTE-RV). (a–c) Guidewire placement via the transhepatic route into the intestinal lumen was performed. The conventional endoscopic intubation of the afferent limb with a single-balloon enteroscope failed. (d–h) An endoscopic snare was used to catch the transhepatic guidewire; thus, the endoscope could be advanced into the afferent limb up to the biliodigestive anastomosis to complete the RV procedure.
