  schema:description "When a gallbladder or bile duct tumour blocks the bile duct, the bile has to be let out. The usual route is a stent placed from inside the bowel at ERCP; if that fails or the block is high in the liver, a tube goes in through the skin (PTC), and a newer option punches a path from the stomach or duodenum under ultrasound guidance."@en ;
