Abstract: | Nineteen months after a Whipple procedure for pancreatic carcinoma, a 79-year-old woman developed recurrent tumoral strictures of the bile ducts and afferent Roux-en-Y limb with resultant jaundice, cholangitis, and liver abscess. Transhepatic abscess and biliary drainages were performed first. Afferent loop obstruction was too far from biliary anastomosis to be crossed via the transhepatic route. Percutaneous jejunostomy and stenting were performed to relieve the malignant afferent loop syndrome. After initial relief of symptoms, jaundice recurred in relation to peritoneal carcinomatosis progression and was treated with percutaneous jejunostomy drainage until patient's death. Therapeutic options of tumoral occlusion of afferent loops are reviewed. |
