Abstract
Objectives
This multicenter retrospective study aimed to compare surgery-related adverse events (AEs) of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) with those of endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) for preoperative management of malignant distal bile duct obstruction (MDBO).
Methods
We reviewed data from 15 centers in Japan between 2012 and 2021. Patients with MDBO who underwent PTBD or EUS-BD after failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and later underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) were included. The primary outcome was surgery-related AEs. Secondary outcomes included drainage-related outcomes, surgery-related outcomes, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS). Risk factors associated with surgery-related AEs were also evaluated.
Results
In total, 2350 patients received biliary drainage before PD. Of the 73 patients in whom ERCP failed, 65 underwent PTBD and 11 underwent EUS-BD. EUS-BD showed a significantly higher internalization rate (100% vs. 28%, p < 0.001), fewer sessions (median 1 vs. 2, p = 0.006), and shorter hospital stay (10 vs. 22 days, p = 0.002). Surgery-related AEs were similar between groups. In the multivariate analysis, age ≥ 71 years and ASA-PS ≥ 2 were identified as significant risk factors for surgery-related AEs, whereas the drainage method was not a significant factor. No significant differences were observed in DFS or OS between the groups.
Conclusions
Surgical-related outcomes, DFS, and OS after EUS-BD were comparable to those after PTBD; however, EUS-BD allowed a higher internalization rate, fewer sessions, and a shorter hospital stay, making it the preferred option for preoperative biliary drainage after failed ERCP.
