What does PTBD mean?

Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage (PTBD) is a medical procedure used to drain bile from the liver when its natural flow is blocked.
PTBD involves the insertion of a drainage catheter through the skin and into the liver to drain bile from the biliary system, thereby bypassing the blockage and allowing bile to flow freely.
