Abstract
Background: Endoscopic self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) insertions for palliation of malignant biliary and duodenal obstructions have been re- vealed to be an effective treatment. We present our clinical experience with the use of SEMS for malignant biliary and duodenal obstructions caused by periampullary cancer. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of all patients who underwent endoscopic biliary and duodenal SEMS insertion for palliation of ma lignant biliary and duodenal obstruction caused by periampullary cancer between July 2007 and October 2016. The patients received simultaneous or sequential endoscopic biliary stenting and duodenal stenting with COMVI TM stents (partially covered; Taewoong, Seoul, Korea). Results: The final diagnoses of our enrolled patients were 15 pancreas head cancer, and 3 distal common bile duct (CBD) cancer. The main stricture site in the duodenum was bulb (n = 4, 22.2%), 2nd portion (n = 9, 50.0%), and 3rd portion (n = 5, 27.8%). The technical success rates of CBD and du odenal stenting were 100% (18/18), and 100% (18/18), respectively. The clinical success rates of CBD and duodenal stenting were 100% (18/18), and 88.9% (16/18), respectively. Median actuarial stent patency for biliary and duodenal SEMS were 6.5 months (range, 1–12 months) and 4.5 months (range, 1–14 months), respectively. Three patients (16.7%) had recurrent biliary obstruction and all of them underwent percutaneous trans-hepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) with biliary SEMS reinsertion. Three other patients (16.7%, totally different from patients with CBD restenosis) had recurrent duodenal obstruction and all of them underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with duodenal SEMS reinsertion. Conclusion: Endoscopic SEMS insertions for simultaneous palliation of malignant biliary and duodenal obstruction in patients with periampullary cancer may provide a safe, and less invasive alternative to surgical palliation with a successful clinical outcome.
期刊介绍:
IJGII (pISSN 2636-0004, eISSN 2636-0012) was published four times a year on the last day of January, April, July, and October, which has effected from January 1 in 2019. This Journal was first published biannually on June and December, beginning in December 2012 under the title ‘Gastrointestinal Intervention’ (former pISSN 2213-1795, eISSN 2213-1809) and was changed to be published three times a year from 2016. Commencing with the January 2019 issue, the Journal was renamed ‘International Journal of Gastrointestinal Intervention’. As the official journal of the Society of Gastrointestinal Intervention (SGI), International Journal of Gastrointestinal Intervention (IJGII) delivers original, peer-reviewed articles for gastroenterologists, interventional radiologists, surgeons, gastrointestinal oncologists, nurses and technicians who need current and reliable information on the interventional treatment of gastrointestinal and hepatopancreaticobiliary diseases. Regular features also include ‘state-of-the-art’ review articles by leading authorities throughout the world. IJGII will become an international forum for the description and discussion of the various aspects of interventional radiology, endoscopy and minimally invasive surgery.
