Self-expandable metallic stent placement above the papilla without endoscopic sphincterotomy in patients with distal malignant biliary obstruction.

ABSTRACT: Background and study aims? The best method for endoscopic placement of self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) for distal malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) has not yet been determined. The aim of this study was to evaluate how SEMS placement above the papilla and without endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) impacts the time to recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) in patients with distal MBO. Patients and methods? We retrospectively reviewed data for 73 consecutive patients with unresectable distal MBO who underwent endoscopic SEMS placement for the first time at our institution between April 2014 and March 2016. We compared time to RBO of SEMS placement above the papilla (intraductal placement) with SEMS placement across the papilla (transpapillary placement). In the intraductal placement group, we also compared time to RBO of placement without EST with placement with EST. Results? Endoscopic SEMS placement was performed in 30 patients with intraductal placement and in 43 patients with transpapillary placement. The median time to RBO was significantly longer with intraductal placement (307 days) than with transpapillary placement (161 days) ( P ?=?0.022). Complication rates did not differ between the two groups. In both univariate and multivariate analysis, intraductal placement was an independent factor contributing to prolonged time to RBO. In intraductal placement, time to RBO was significantly longer in SEMS placement without EST than with EST (363 days vs. 227 days, respectively; P ?=?0.026). Conclusions? Intraductal SEMS placement, especially without EST for distal MBO contributed to longer time to RBO.

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.
