The RF wire was successfully used to create a biliary neo-anastomosis with a minimally invasive approach for the treatment of non-malignant complete biliary occlusion. This technique offers patients with complete biliary occlusion a safe, effective and durable treatment option which avoids the need for a permanent biliary drain and ultimately results in an improved quality of life.
