Outcomes of partially covered self-expandable metal stents with different uncovered lengths in endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy: a Japanese retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background/aims

The optimal length of the uncovered portion of partially covered self-expandable metal stents (PCSEMSs) used in endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) remains unclear. This study investigated the safety and efficacy of PCSEMSs with different uncovered lengths, with a focus on stent migration and time to recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO).

Methods

Outcomes of patients undergoing EUS-HGS using PCSEMSs with 5-mm and 20-mm uncovered portions at our institution from January 2016 to December 2021 were compared.

Results

Sixty-two patients underwent EUS-HGS using PCSEMS (5/20-mm uncovered portions: 32/30). Stent migration occurred only in the 5-mm group. There were no differences in RBO rates (28.1% vs. 40.0%) or median time to RBO (6.8 vs. 7.1 months) between the two groups. Median overall survival (OS) was longer in the 20-mm group (3.1 vs. 4.9 months, p=0.037) due to the higher number of patients that resumed chemotherapy after EUS-HGS (56.7% vs. 28.1%, p=0.029). Good performance status, absence of hepatic metastases, and chemotherapy after EUS-HGS were independent predictors of longer OS.

Conclusions

No migration was observed in patients treated with PCSEMS with 20-mm uncovered portions. Patients treated with PCSEMS with 20-mm uncovered portions performed at least as well as those treated with 5-mm uncovered portions in all material respects.

Project description:AimTo compare the efficacy of using covered self-expandable metal stents (CSEMSs) and uncovered self-expandable metal stents (UCSEMSs) to treat objective jaundice caused by an unresectable malignant tumor.MethodsWe performed a comprehensive electronic search from 1980 to May 2015. All randomized controlled trials comparing the use of CSEMSs and UCSEMSs to treat malignant distal biliary obstruction were included.ResultsThe analysis included 1417 patients enrolled in 14 trials. We did not detect significant differences between the UCSEMS group and the CSEMS group in terms of cumulative stent patency (hazard ratio (HR) 0.93, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.19-4.53; p = 0.93, I2 = 0%), patient survival (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.05-10.87; p = 0.85, I2 = 0%), overall stent dysfunction (relative ratio (RR) 0.85, M-H, random, 95% CI 0.57-1.25; p = 0.83, I2 = 63%), the overall complication rate (RR 1.26, M-H, fixed, 95% CI 0.94-1.68; p = 0.12, I2 = 0%) or the change in serum bilirubin (weighted mean difference (WMD) -0.13, IV fixed, 95% CI 0.56-0.3; p = 0.55, I2 = 0%). However, we did detect a significant difference in the main causes of stent dysfunction between the two groups. In particular, the CSEMS group exhibited a lower rate of tumor ingrowth (RR 0.25, M-H, random, 95% CI 0.12-0.52; p = 0.002, I2 = 40%) but a higher rate of tumor overgrowth (RR 1.76, M-H, fixed, 95% CI 1.03-3.02; p = 0.04, I2 = 0%). Patients with CSEMSs also exhibited a higher migration rate (RR 9.33, M-H, fixed, 95% CI 2.54-34.24; p = 0.008, I2 = 0%) and a higher rate of sludge formation (RR 2.47, M-H, fixed, 95% CI 1.36-4.50; p = 0.003, I2 = 0%).ConclusionsOur meta-analysis indicates that there is no significant difference in primary stent patency and stent dysfunction between CSEMSs and UCSEMSs during the period from primary stent insertion to primary stent dysfunction or patient death. However, when taking further management for occluded stents into consideration, CSEMSs is a better choice for patients with malignant biliary obstruction due to their removability.

Project description:ObjectivesBalloon dilation followed by balloon-expandable stent implantation is an effective treatment for improving hemodynamic status in patients with coarctation of the aorta (CoA). However, limited evidence exists regarding the safety and efficacy of covered balloon-expandable stents (CBSs) in a large cohort. In this meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the overall success rates, hemodynamic and anatomical benefits, complications, and mid-term results of CBSs in treating CoA.MethodsThe PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were systemically searched for studies reporting outcomes of CBSs in treating CoA. Single-group rate meta-analyses were performed to calculate estimated pooled procedural success rates, the incidence of complications, and re-coarctation rates. A meta-analysis using standardized mean differences was conducted to compare pre- and postoperative trans-coarctation pressure gradients (PGs), coarctation diameter, and overall changes in systolic blood pressure (SBP). Subgroup analyses were performed to identify potential sources of heterogeneity.ResultsThe final analysis included 12 studies with a total of 411 patients. The estimated pooled procedural success rate was 100% [95% confidence interval (CI): 98%-100%, I2 = 0, P = 0.78]. Significant decreases in trans-coarctation PGs and SBP were observed. The pooled incidences of stent-related, aortic, and access site complications were 2% (95% CI: 0%-5%, I 2 = 30.4%, P = 0.15), 2% (95% CI: 0%-4%, I 2 = 0%, P = 0.76), and 3% (95% CI: 1%-7%, I 2 = 52.9%, P = 0.02), respectively. Subgroup analyses showed that implantation of BeGraft stents was related to a significantly higher incidence of access site complications.ConclusionCovered balloon-expandable stent implantation in treating CoA is safe and effective with high procedural success rates, an acceptable incidence of complications, and a low incidence of re-coarctation.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, PROSPERO (CRD42023430356).
