Variable effect of lithium on canine pancreatic polypeptide and gastrin release by a meal or bombesin.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Bile duct stones (BDS) are usually removed via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or, if ERCP remains unsuccessful, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage (PTCD). However, PTCD provides limited access to large BDSs. We analyzed a modified approach of PTCD for percutaneous therapy of B...
