Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility and outcome of percutaneous biliary neo-anastomosis (PBNA) by means of fluoroscopy-guided enteral/biliary puncture, followed by temporary percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD).
Materials and methods: Four patients (25% female, mean age 56 years) were referred for PBNA (bilio-entero-neo-anastomosis, n = 3; bilio-biliary-neo-anastomosis, n = 1) between 2007 and 2021. They presented with right posterior bile duct exclusion and bile leakage after major liver or pancreatic surgery, or hemiliver transplant. After puncture of the excluded/leaking bile duct, neo-anastomosis was performed under fluoroscopic guidance using the back end of a 0.018″ guidewire (n = 3) or a vascular reentry device (n = 1). PTBDs were inserted to assure PBNA healing.
Results: Technical success rate was 100%. No complications occurred. All PTBDs were removed (median = 65 days). During a median follow-up of 2.8 years, two patients died due to unrelated causes. No subsequent bile leakages or re-occlusions were observed.
Conclusion: In conclusion, PBNA is feasible and safe, and offers long-term biliary patency even in liver-transplanted patients.
期刊介绍:
CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology (CVIR) is the official journal of the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe, and is also the official organ of a number of additional distinguished national and international interventional radiological societies. CVIR publishes double blinded peer-reviewed original research work including clinical and laboratory investigations, technical notes, case reports, works in progress, and letters to the editor, as well as review articles, pictorial essays, editorials, and special invited submissions in the field of vascular and interventional radiology. Beside the communication of the latest research results in this field, it is also the aim of CVIR to support continuous medical education. Articles that are accepted for publication are done so with the understanding that they, or their substantive contents, have not been and will not be submitted to any other publication.
