Objective To investigate the effect of PTCD treatment on patients with malignant obstruct jaundice (MOJ). Methods A total of 100 patients with MOJ treated in the Department of Interventional Radiology of the First Affiliated of Nanjing Medical University from March 2022 to March 2025 were selected. According to the randomized numerical table method, they were divided into the observation (n=50, nasojejunal enteral nutrition tube placement was performed to assist PTCD treatment) and the control group (n=50, PTCD treatment performed). The levels of liver function indexes, nutritional indexes and complications in the two groups were compared. Results The levels of liver function indexes in the observation group were all than those in the control group; the levels of ALB and PA in the observation group were higher than those in the control group; the total incidence rate of complications in the observation was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Nasojejunal enteral nutrition tube placement to assist PTCD treatment promote the recovery of liver function in patients with MOJ, improve their nutritional status, and reduce the incidence of complications.
