temesis and melena. He had received an uncovered nitinol self−expanding metal stent (SEMS) 2 months previously for in− operable obstructive hilar cholangiocar− cinoma. Upper endoscopy revealed a normal esophagus, stomach, and duodenal bulb. At the duodenal wall opposite the papilla, a large ulceration with hematin spot (l" Fig. 1) had formed as a result of SEMS impaction. We decided to shorten ...
متن کاملBiliary Metal Stent as a Nidus for Bile Duct Stone
Several cases of recurrent stone formation caused by a surgical material as a nidus have been reported. Recently, we experienced one case in which a migrated metal stent might have been served as a nidus for common duct stone formation. The diagnosis was confirmed by ERCP, the stone was successfully removed with endoscopic therapy. Six years ago, she had undergone a lithotripsy using a percutan...
متن کاملRadiotherapy Prolongs Biliary Metal Stent Patency in Malignant Pancreatobiliary Obstructions
BACKGROUND/AIMS Biliary stenting is the most effective decompressive method for treating malignant biliary obstructive jaundice. Although the main cause of stent occlusion is tumor growth, few studies have investigated whether stent patency is affected by the combination of cancer-treatment modalities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of local radiotherapy on metal-stent patenc...
متن کاملSuccessful endoscopic ultrasound-guided overstenting biliary drainage through a pre-existing proximal migrated metal biliary stent.
Biliary endoscopic drainage using metallic self-expanded stents has become a well-established method for palliative treatment of malignant biliary obstruction. However, its occlusion, mainly by tumor overgrowth, is still the main complication without a standard treatment. We here describe a new method of treatment for biliary metallic stent occlusion, through the echo guided biliary drainage. W...
متن کاملEndoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Biliary Drainage Using Self-Expandable Metal Stent for Malignant Biliary Obstruction
Purpose. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) has been increasingly reported worldwide. However, studies concerning EUS-BD from Mainland China are sporadic. This study aims to investigate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of EUS-BD using SEMS in a single center from Mainland China. Methods. Between November 2011 and August 2015, 24 patients underwent EUS-BD using a standar...
