Long-term follow-up of percutaneous transhepatic therapy (PTT) in patients with definite benign anastomotic strictures after hepaticojejunostomy 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Percutaneous transhepatic therapy (PTT) is a promising minimally invasive procedure for benign stenosis of the anastomosis after hepaticojejunostomy. In this prospective study, the effectiveness and safety of this technique were investigated. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between October 1995 and May 2000 34 consecutive patients were referred for treatment of symptomatic cholestasis due to anastomotic strictures after hepaticojejunostomy. In all patients percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopic (PTCS) drainage and bougienage of the stenosis up to 16 Fr were performed. Associated bile duct stones were fractured using PTCS laser lithotripsy and removed into the jejunum. Afterwards, patients received transhepatic drainage for 3 months initially. The tubes were replaced in case of persistent strictures every 3 months up to 1 year. Patients in whom treatment failed underwent surgery or received biliary metal stents, depending on risk factors and individual anatomy. RESULTS: The procedure was performed in 34 patients (mean age 57 +/- 15) with cholestasis (alkaline phosphatase 691 +/- 485 U/l, bilirubin level mean 3.2 +/- 3.1 mg/dl). The transhepatic tube was successfully positioned into the right hepatic bile duct (n = 25), into the left (n = 3), or into both (n = 3) after 4 +/- 1 sessions, except in two patients in whom an external drainage was used and another patient in whom the procedure had to be stopped due to a bleeding complication. In 14 patients bile duct stones were successfully treated by PTCS laser lithotripsy before the placement of a transhepatic tube. The 30-day morbidity and mortality rates were 23.5% and 0% respectively. In 23 patients, the transhepatic tube could be removed after 212 +/- 122 days, with no evidence of cholestasis during a further follow-up of 736 +/- 479 days. Four patients received metal stents because of persistent strictures after transhepatic intubation. Surgery had to be performed in a total of five patients, because of recurrent bile duct stones or recurrent strictures, in one patient with previous implantation of a metal stent, and in two patients with bile duct disconnection. Two patients died, one 1.5 years after surgery and one 427 days after metal stent implantation. None of these cases was related to the procedure. In two patients, the transhepatic tube is still in situ. CONCLUSIONS: Percutaneous transhepatic treatment of anastomotic strictures after hepaticojejunostomy is safe and highly effective in achieving internal biliary drainage. Temporary transhepatic intubation seems to be a promising minimally invasive alternative to surgery. 相似文献

Benign biliary diseases include benign biliary strictures (BBS), choledocholithiasis, and leaks. BBS encompass postoperative injury, anastomotic stricture, chronic pancreatitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and gallstone-related stricture. Therapeutic options for benign biliary diseases include surgical, percutaneous, and endoscopic interventions. Endoscopic options include placement of plastic stents as well as self-expanding metal stents (SEMS). SEMS can be uncovered, partially covered, and fully covered, and have been used with some success in resolution of strictures and leaks; however, complications limit their use. This article reviews the currently published experience on SEMS and attempts to define their current role in the treatment of benign biliary diseases. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to test the removability of fully covered self-expandable metal stents (FCSEMS) in patients with a benign common bile duct (CBD) stricture. A FCSEMS was inserted in six patients with a CBD stricture due to chronic pancreatitis who were considered to be unfit for surgery, and stent removal was attempted after predefined intervals of 4 and 6 months. FCSEMS were successfully placed in all patients (100 % placement success) and stent extraction was accomplished in four patients (66 % removal rate), all of whom achieved stricture resolution (66 % resolution rate). In one patient a recurrent stenosis developed after 6 months (recurrence rate 25 %). Proximal stent migration occurred in two patients. In conclusion, FCSEMS removal was possible in the majority of patients and results regarding stricture dilation were promising. Nevertheless, before FCSEMS can become an acceptable treatment option for benign CBD strictures, innovative stent design modifications are necessary and removability must be ascertained. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Clarification of the position of the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) regarding the interventional options available for treating patients with chronic pancreatitis. METHODS: Systematic literature search to answer explicit key questions with levels of evidence serving to determine recommendation grades. The ESGE funded development of the Guideline. SUMMARY OF SELECTED RECOMMENDATIONS: For treating painful uncomplicated chronic pancreatitis, the ESGE recommends extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy/endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography as the first-line interventional option. The clinical response should be evaluated at 6 - 8 weeks; if it appears unsatisfactory, the patient's case should be discussed again in a multidisciplinary team. Surgical options should be considered, in particular in patients with a predicted poor outcome following endoscopic therapy (Recommendation grade B). For treating chronic pancreatitis associated with radiopaque stones ≥ 5 mm that obstruct the main pancreatic duct, the ESGE recommends extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy as a first step, combined or not with endoscopic extraction of stone fragments depending on the expertise of the center (Recommendation grade B). For treating chronic pancreatitis associated with a dominant stricture of the main pancreatic duct, the ESGE recommends inserting a single 10-Fr plastic stent, with stent exchange planned within 1 year (Recommendation grade C). In patients with ductal strictures persisting after 12 months of single plastic stenting, the ESGE recommends that available options (e. g., endoscopic placement of multiple pancreatic stents, surgery) be discussed in a multidisciplinary team (Recommendation grade D).For treating uncomplicated chronic pancreatic pseudocysts that are within endoscopic reach, the ESGE recommends endoscopic drainage as a first-line therapy (Recommendation grade A).For treating chronic pancreatitis-related biliary strictures, the choice between endoscopic and surgical therapy should rely on local expertise, patient co-morbidities and expected patient compliance with repeat endoscopic procedures (Recommendation grade D). If endoscopy is elected, the ESGE recommends temporary placement of multiple, side-by-side, plastic biliary stents (Recommendation grade A). 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Biliary obstruction in chronic pancreatitis is frequently treated by endoscopic insertion of a plastic stent into the common bile duct, a therapy regarded as having a low complication rate. The aim of this study is to analyze the frequency and severity of complications caused by biliary stents in patients with chronic alcoholic pancreatitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed all our patients with chronic pancreatitis (n = 14) who were provided with a plastic stent for biliary stenosis between June 1993 and December 1997. Stent exchanges were followed until December 1998. RESULTS: Stent insertion was performed without early complications and was successful in each patient. Only two patients were admitted after 3-4 months at the scheduled dates for stent exchange, both without complications. In one of these patients, the bile duct stenosis was reopened after two stent exchanges over a total period of 8 months. Most of our patients (n=12) did not come at the arranged dates for stent exchange. They were repeatedly admitted (mean 2.9 times/patient, range 1-5) as emergency cases with severe complications of biliary obstruction, such as cholangitis or biliary sepsis. Reopening of the bile duct stenosis was not achieved in these patients. CONCLUSIONS: We associate the high rate of complications with the noncompliance of our patients, who were all alcoholics. The high incidence of late complications in noncompliant patients is a limitation of biliary stenting, and appears to be potentially harmful. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Dominant pancreatic duct strictures located in the head of the pancreas in patients with severe chronic pancreatitis are often managed by endoscopic placement of a single plastic stent. Patients with refractory strictures after prolonged stenting require repeated stent replacement or surgical pancreaticojejunostomy. Placement of multiple plastic stents has proved effective in managing postoperative biliary strictures. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility, efficacy, and long-term results of multiple stenting of refractory pancreatic strictures in severe chronic pancreatitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 19 patients with severe chronic pancreatitis (16 men, three women; mean age 45 years) and with a single pancreatic stent through a refractory dominant stricture in the pancreatic head underwent the following protocol: (i) removal of the single pancreatic stent; (ii) balloon dilation of the stricture; (iii) insertion of the maximum number of stents allowed by the stricture tightness and the pancreatic duct diameter; and (iv) removal of stents after 6 to 12 months. RESULTS: The median number of stents placed through the major or minor papilla was 3, with diameters ranging from 8.5 to 11.5 Fr and length from 4 to 7 cm. Only one patient (5.5 %) had persistent stricture after multiple stenting. During a mean follow-up of 38 months after removal, 84 % of patients were asymptomatic, and 10.5 % had symptomatic stricture recurrence. No major complications were recorded. CONCLUSION: Endoscopic multiple stenting of dominant pancreatic duct strictures in chronic pancreatitis is a feasible and safe technique. Multiple pancreatic stenting is promising in obtaining persistent stricture dilation on long-term follow-up in the setting of severe chronic pancreatitis. 相似文献

This article is part of a combined publication that expresses the current view of the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy about endoscopic biliary stenting. The present Clinical Guideline describes short-term and long-term results of biliary stenting depending on indications and stent models; it makes recommendations on when, how, and with which stent to perform biliary drainage in most common clinical settings, including in patients with a potentially resectable malignant biliary obstruction and in those who require palliative drainage of common bile duct or hilar strictures. Treatment of benign conditions (strictures related to chronic pancreatitis, liver transplantation, or cholecystectomy, and leaks and failed biliary stone extraction) and management of complications (including stent revision) are also discussed. A two-page executive summary of evidence statements and recommendations is provided. A separate Technology Review describes the models of biliary stents available and the stenting techniques, including advanced techniques such as insertion of multiple plastic stents, drainage of hilar strictures, retrieval of migrated stents and combined stenting in malignant biliary and duodenal obstructions.The target readership for the Clinical Guideline mostly includes digestive endoscopists, gastroenterologists, oncologists, radiologists, internists, and surgeons while the Technology Review should be most useful to endoscopists who perform biliary drainage. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: No studies with real long-term follow-up after endoscopic drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts are available. The present study was undertaken to investigate the long-term outcome of endoscopic management of pancreatic pseudocyst with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 38 consecutive patients with pancreatic pseudocyst underwent endoscopic cystogastrostomy (n = 27), endoscopic cystoduodenostomy (n = 6) and transpapillary drainage (n = 5). Patients were monitored at 1 and 3 months after drainage, and finally between 24 and 80 months. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was done at 1 and 3 months after drainage while ultrasound was done at 3 months and at the end of follow-up. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was only done before cyst drainage if no cyst bulge was visible in the stomach or duodenum or if obstructive jaundice was present. RESULTS: Biliary pancreatitis was responsible for the pseudocyst in 19 cases while the remaining occurrences were caused by alcohol (n = 12) and trauma (n = 7). All forms of endoscopic drainage were effective in treating pancreatic pseudocyst and there was complete disappearance of the cyst within 3 months of drainage, irrespective of cause. Over a mean follow-up of 44.23 months (24 - 80 months). Three patients had symptomatic recurrences while three had asymptomatic recurrences; all had alcohol-induced pancreatitis. No recurrences were seen in the biliary pancreatitis and trauma group. All symptomatic recurrences were successfully managed with endoscopic cystogastrostomy and stenting. A massive bleed in one patient required surgery while stent block and cyst infection in three patients and perforation in one patient were managed conservatively. ERCP was done before cyst drainage in eight patients because there was no visible bulge into the stomach or duodenum (n = 5), or because obstructive jaundice was present (n = 3). In five patients ERCP revealed cyst duct communication. All these patients were managed by transpapillary drainage and there was only one asymptomatic recurrence in this group. CONCLUSION: Endoscopic management of pancreatic pseudocyst is quite an effective and safe mode of treatment in experienced hands. ERCP before the procedure is only required when the cyst does not bulge into gut lumen, for a decision about the feasibility of transpancreatic drainage. On long-term follow-up, recurrences were seen only in the alcoholic pancreatitis group. In the biliary pancreatitis group, no recurrences were seen after cholecystectomy and removal of common bile duct (CBD) stones if present. No recurrences were seen in the trauma group. 相似文献

Biliary plastic stenting plays a key role in the endoscopic management of benign biliary diseases. Complications following surgery of the biliary tract and liver transplantation are amenable to endoscopic treatment by plastic stenting. Insertion of an increasing number of plastic stents is currently the method of choice to treat postoperative biliary strictures. Benign biliary strictures secondary to chronic pancreatitis or primary sclerosing cholangitis may benefit from plastic stenting in select cases. There is a role for plastic stent placement in nonoperative candidates with acute cholecystitis and in patients with irretrievable bile duct stones. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Benign biliary strictures, mostly associated with biliary surgery, are of growing importance for the therapeutic endoscopist. In the short term, endoscopic therapy has success rates similar to those of surgery. With regard to the long-term results, fewer data are available, particularly concerning forms of treatment including percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) as an additional tool. The present study was aimed at allowing evaluation of the short and long-term results of endoscopic and percutaneous treatment in patients with benign biliary strictures. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The charts of 40 consecutive patients treated during the period 1992-1994 (12 men, 28 women; median age 60.5 years, range 24-86) were analyzed retrospectively. Long-term follow-up was carried out by direct contact. In almost all of the cases, the endoscopic treatment consisted of papillotomy and stenting (single stent treatment 10 or 11.5 Fr); Yamakawa-type prostheses (14 or 16 Fr) were used in the PTBD patients. RESULTS: The primary treatment was successful in 37 of the 40 patients, including nine of 21 patients (43 %) treated endoscopically and 28 of 31 patients (90%) treated using the percutaneous approach. The complication rates after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) were 14%, compared with 26% after PTBD. Relief of the stricture was achieved in 25 patients after a median period of stent treatment of nine months (range 3-44), while recurrences were seen in six patients with stents in place for only 4.5 months (range 1-8), and in one patient with a metal stent. Therapy failed in two patients, and three were lost to follow-up. Serious long-term complications were rare, but there was a fatal complication in one patient with metal stents. The follow-up period was 44 months (range 11-66). Three patients underwent successful primary surgery, and three more underwent successful surgery after stricture recurrence; all were free of complaints after 49 months (range 40-44). CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic and percutaneous treatment of benign biliary strictures is not only a short-term treatment, but also an adequate long-term therapeutic alternative to surgery, with tolerable complication rates. The period of stenting appears to influence the outcome, and the diameter of the stents used also probably plays a role. Prospective studies are required for further evaluation of these observations. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: In pancreas divisum (PD), endoscopic drainage of the minor papilla is beneficial for patients presenting with acute recurrent pancreatitis, but in cases of chronic pancreatitis, surgery is claimed to be indicated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic stent placement in patients with PD presenting with chronic pancreatitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The outcome of endoscopic treatment was evaluated in 16 patients with PD presenting with chronic pancreatitis, who underwent stenting as a first line of treatment. Chart reviews and patient interviews by mail and telephone were conducted. Median follow-up time was 51 months (range 6-120). RESULTS: After one episode of stenting and subsequent stent extraction, five of 16 patients remained pain-free (i.e., for a median time of 45 months, range 12-64). Six patients had temporary pain relief (14 months), and five patients experienced no effect of stent therapy. A total of five patients underwent surgery after failure of stenting. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with chronic pancreatitis and a PD should undergo trial stenting, since every third patient remains symptom-free after one episode of stenting. 相似文献

Endoscopic treatment of postsurgical external pancreatic fistulas 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: External pancreatic fistulas (EPFs) are managed primarily by conservative treatment with a success rate of 40-90%. Failures of conservative therapy have traditionally been dealt with using surgery; however, major morbidity and mortality are associated with operative treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of endoscopic treatment in the closure of EPF. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 16 consecutive patients with EPF (12 men, four women; median age 50, range 21-66) underwent an attempt at endoscopic management after failure of conservative therapy. Four patients had chronic pancreatitis. All patients had EPFs occurring after open abdominal surgery. The mean interval between the onset of the fistula and our intervention was 108 days (range 27-365 days). The mean output volume of the fistula was 205 ml/d (range 50-600 ml/ d). The aim of treatment was to lower the pancreatic duct pressure and to bypass the ductal disruption by placement of drains and/or stents to induce fistula healing. RESULTS: In all, 13 biliary and nine pancreatic sphincterotomies were performed in order to gain access to the pancreatic duct. Access through the minor papilla was required in one patient. Complete visualization of the main pancreatic duct as well as of the fistulous tract was obtained in 12 patients (75%). Treatment consisted of placement of a nasal pancreatic drain (NPD) across the pancreaticojejunal anastomosis in one patient after duodenopancreatectomy. In 11 of the remaining 15 patients (73%) a NPD could be placed in the pancreatic duct across the ductal leakage (n = 9) or nearby (n = 2). One patient died 24 hours after endoscopic treatment from severe sepsis and massive pulmonary embolism. Endoscopic drainage was effective in healing the EPF in all patients in whom NPDs had been successfully placed, except one. The fistula in this patient healed completely after insertion of an 8.5-Fr pancreatic stent. The mean interval between endoscopic treatment and fistula closure was 8.8 days (range 2-33 days). No complications related to the endoscopic treatment were recorded in this series. In the 12 successfully treated patients, fistulas did not recur in any of the 11 surviving patients after a mean follow-up of 24.7 months (range 3-63 months). CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic pancreatic drainage, when feasible, is safe and effective for EPF and should be considered as a first-line therapy when EPFs do not respond to conservative therapy. 相似文献

Stenting in severe chronic pancreatitis: results of medium-term follow-up in seventy-six patients 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Between January 1985 and September 1989, 75 patients presenting with severe chronic pancreatitis with distal stricture and upstream dilatation underwent stenting of the main pancreatic duct (MPD) through the major papilla (n = 54) or minor papilla (n = 21) in order to drain the predominant duct through a 10 F plastic prosthesis. All patients had undergone biliary and pancreatic sphincterotomy with a few cases of complications, and the majority (84%) also ESWL in the period from October 1987 onwards without complications. Relief of pain (94%) occurred parallel to a decrease in the MPD diameter. In a mean follow-up period of 37 months improvement of the nutrition status and relief of pain was seen. Clogging of these large plastic stents was treated by replacement or by another endoscopic or surgical procedure. Complications were treated endoscopically. Further measures necessary due to failure of stenting consisted of laterolateral pancreatico-jejunostomy in 15% of patients and placement of self-expanding 18 F metal mesh stents in 29%. There was no mortality due to surgery. It is concluded that stenting of distal strictures in the MPD can lead to rapid resolution of pancreatic pain due to ductal hypertension and is the best means for determining the cause of pain, providing an alternative to surgery. Significant improvement of a stricture by prolonged stenting is however unusual, and such patients treated endoscopically require close follow-up with stent replacement approximately once a year. 相似文献

Endoscopic biliary drainage by nasobiliary drain or by stent placement in patients with acute cholangitis 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Endoscopic biliary drainage is an established mode of treatment for acute cholangitis. We compared the safety and efficacy of nasobiliary drain (NBD) placement and stent placement for biliary drainage in patients with acute cholangitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We recruited a total of 150 patients with severe cholangitis who required endoscopic biliary drainage. Patients were randomized to have either a 7-Fr NBD or a 7-Fr straight flap stent placed during endoscopy. Outcome measures included complications related to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and the clinical outcome. RESULTS: Of the 150 patients, 75 were randomized to the NBD group and 75 to the stent group. The most common causes of biliary obstruction were common bile duct stones (n = 102) and biliopancreatic malignancies (n = 37). The site of the biliary obstruction was predominantly found to be the lower part of common bile duct in both the NBD group (n = 58) and the stent group (n = 59). Indications for biliary drainage were: a fever of > 100.4 degrees F (n = 140), hypotension (n = 23), peritonism (n = 40), impaired consciousness (n = 29), and failure to improve with conservative management (n = 45). Biliary drainage was achieved in 147 patients. Abdominal pain, fever, jaundice, hypotension, peritonism and altered sensorium improved after a median period of 2 days in both groups. Leukocyte counts became normal after a median time of 7 days in the NBD group and 6 days in the stent group. There were no ERCP-related complications. There were no instances of displacement or kinking of an NBD, occlusion of an NBD or stent, or of stent migration. Four patients died (two in the NBD group and two in the stent group) as a result of uncontrolled cholangitis after 1, 2, 4, and 6 days of biliary drainage. The success rates of biliary drainage in cholangitis were not affected by the type of endoprosthesis used (72/74 for NBD patients vs. 71/73 for stent patients), the etiology of the biliary obstruction (110/112 for benign obstruction vs. 33/35 for malignant obstruction), or the site of the biliary obstruction (28/30 for upper common bile duct obstruction vs. 115/117 for obstruction at the lower end of common bile duct). CONCLUSIONS: Biliary drainage by nasobiliary drain and drainage by stent are equally safe and effective treatments for patients with severe cholangitis. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Endoscopic biliary stenting is an established treatment for malignant obstructive jaundice. Stent clogging continues to be a major problem with plastic stents. The aim of this study was to carry out a prospective comparison of two stents with different materials and shapes: the Olympus DoubleLayer stent (DLS; perfluoro alkoxy, without sideholes) and the standard polyethylene (PE) stent (with sideholes). PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 120 patients (70 women; mean age 71, range 36 - 91) with jaundice due to malignant strictures of the middle to distal third of the common bile duct were randomly assigned to receive either DLS (n = 60) or PE (n = 60) biliary stents. Patients with cholangitis, hemobilia, previous biliary drainage, hilar stricture, or ampullary cancer were excluded. RESULTS: In all, 28 DLS patients (47 %) and 17 PE stent patients (29 %) died without clinical evidence of stent occlusion after a mean of 114 and 105 days, respectively ( P < 0.05). Twenty-six DLS patients (43 %) and 38 PE stent patients (63 %) had symptoms of stent clogging after a mean of 144 and 99 days, respectively ( P < 0.05). Stent dysfunction (stent orifice impacted on the bile duct or duodenal wall, stent migration) was recorded in six DLS patients (10 %) and five PE patients (8 %) (n. s.). Kaplan-Meier analysis of DLS and PE stent clogging-free survival showed a significantly longer patency period with the DLS stents (P = 0.0005). CONCLUSIONS: These results show that DoubleLayer stents have a longer patency period than PE stents. Patients who received PE stents had a higher risk of stent occlusion (relative risk 3.05; 95 % CI, 1.57 - 5.89) before death than DLS patients. 相似文献

Background: Self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) are a recognized means of palliating large bowel obstruction due to colonic neoplasia. The literature mainly relates to the use of modified esophageal stents (expanded diameter, 18–22 mm) in the colorectum. Stent migration has been a common complication and may be related to expanded stent diameter. This series reports our experience with the Memotherm Colorectal SEMS (expanded diameter, 25–30 mm).
Methods: Prospective data were collected from February 1999 to September 2000. Sixteen patients (age range = 61–99 years) were considered for the Memotherm Colorectal SEMS. Stents were inserted radiologically under fluoroscopic control. Outcome was classified as a technical success (stent in correct position and expanded) and a clinical success (colon decompressed, symptoms relieved, and bowels working).
Results: Thirteen cases (81%) underwent successful SEMS placement. These were technically and clinically successful. Two cases required insertion of two overlapping stents to traverse long strictures. Three unsuccessful cases were emergency presentations in which a guidewire could not be passed across the lesion. Two of these were due to benign strictures and the third to extrinsic compression by ovarian carcinoma.
Conclusion: In our experience, the Memotherm Colorectal SEMS was easy to use, was effective in the palliation of obstructing colorectal carcinoma, and appeared to reduce the risk of stent migration. 相似文献

Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) has been developed as an alternative drainage technique in patients with obstructive jaundice where endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has failed. Between July 2008 and December 2009, 16 patients (9 men; median age 79 years) with biliopancreatic malignancy, who were candidates for alternative techniques of biliary decompression because ERCP had been unsuccessful, underwent EUS-BD with placement of a transmural or transpapillary partially covered nitinol self-expandable metal stent (SEMS). EUS-assisted cholangiography was successful in all patients, with definition of the relevant anatomy, but biliary drainage was successfully performed in only 12 (75?%) of the 16 patients (9 choledochoduodenostomies with SEMS placement and 3 biliary rendezvous procedures with papillary SEMS placement), with regression of the cholestasis. No major complications and no procedure-related deaths occurred. There was one case of pneumoperitoneum which was managed conservatively. The median follow-up was 170 days. During the follow-up, eight patients of the 12 patients in whom biliary draining was successful died; four are currently alive. None of the patients required endoscopic reintervention. This series demonstrated that EUS-BD with a partially covered SEMS has a high rate of clinical success and low complication rates, and could represent an alternative choice for biliary decompression. 相似文献

Similar performance but higher cholecystitis rate with covered biliary stents: results from a prospective multicenter evaluation 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Endoscopic biliary stenting is now a well-established treatment method in patients with unresectable malignant biliary obstruction. Despite advances with metal stents, the problem of stent occlusion has not yet been resolved. Covered metal stents could reduce the occlusion rate by preventing tumor ingrowth, but have not been well evaluated. A prospective multicenter study was therefore conducted to evaluate the efficacy and disadvantages of covered Wallstents. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Covered Wallstents were implanted endoscopically in 62 patients with inoperable distal malignant biliary obstruction. Complications, stent patency, and patient survival were analyzed. RESULTS: Stent insertion was achieved in 61 of the 62 patients (98.4 %). Procedure-related complications were observed in four patients, consisting of minor pancreatitis (n = 2) and abdominal pain due to stent expansion (n = 2). There was no procedure-related mortality. Seven patients died too early for proper assessment, so that a total of 54 patients were ultimately evaluated. Stent dysfunction occurred in 17 of the 54 patients (31.5 %). The reasons for dysfunction were proximal tumor overgrowth (n = 5), migration (n = 3), lithiasis or food impaction (n = 3), cholangitis without the need for a repeat biliary intervention (n = 5), and unknown (n = 1). The median period of stent patency was 142 days. No tumor ingrowth was observed. Acute cholecystitis was diagnosed in five patients (10 %) and was responsible for one death. Three stents were successfully removed. CONCLUSIONS: Covered biliary metal stents are effective for the drainage of distal malignant biliary obstruction, with a dysfunction rate apparently similar to that of uncovered stents. However, the risk of acute cholecystitis appears to be a major concern with this type of stent in patients with gallbladder in situ. Further comparative studies are needed. 相似文献

Fully covered self-expanding metal stents (FC-SEMSs), which can be removed from the bile duct, have recently been used in the main pancreatic duct (MPD) in chronic pancreatitis. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of FC-SEMSs in painful chronic pancreatitis with refractory pancreatic strictures. The primary endpoints were technical success and procedure-related morbidity. Secondary endpoints were pain relief at the end of follow-up and resolution of the dominant pancreatic stricture at endoscopic retrograde pancreatography. Over 5 months, 10 patients with painful chronic pancreatitis and refractory dominant pancreatic duct strictures were treated with FC-SEMSs. All FC-SEMSs were successfully released and removed, although two stents were embedded in the MPD at their distal end and treated endoscopically without complications. Mild abdominal pain was noted in three patients after stent release. During treatment, pain relief was achieved in nine patients, but one continued to take morphine, because of addiction. Cholestasis developed in two patients and was treated endoscopically; no patient developed acute pancreatitis or pancreatic sepsis. After stent removal, the diameter of the narrowest MPD stricture had increased significantly from 3.5 mm to 5.8 mm. Patients were followed up for a mean of 19.8 months: two patients who continued drinking alcohol presented with mild acute pancreatitis; one patient developed further chronic pancreatic pain; and one had a transient pain episode. At the end of the study, nine patients no longer had chronic pain and no patients had required surgery. Endoscopic treatment of refractory MPD stricture in chronic pancreatitis by placement of an FC-SEMS appears feasible, safe, and potentially effective. 相似文献
