Management of occluded biliary Wallstents.
BACKGROUND Wallstents (Schneider Stent, Inc., USA) used for the palliation of malignant biliary strictures, although associated with prolonged patency, can occlude. There is no consensus regarding the optimal management of Wallstent occlusion. AIMS To evaluate the efficacy of different endoscopic methods for managing biliary Wallstent occlusion. METHODS A multicentre retrospective study of ...
متن کاملA newly designed plastic stent for multiple occluded metallic stents deployed in malignant hilar biliary strictures.
deployment of multiple metallic stents in malignant hilar biliary strictures have been addressed in several articles [1–5]. However, once metallic stents are occluded, multiple deployment of plastic stents through the previously deployed metallic stents is sometimes difficult. We have designed a new plastic stent for dealing with multiple metallic stent occlusion, and report a successful case u...
متن کاملCovered metallic stent for ischemic hilar biliary stricture.
Compared with surgery, endoscopic treatment is safe and highly effective for a postoperative hilar benign bile duct stricture (BDS). However, the long-term outcome of conventional placement of a single biliary stent for hilar benign BDS is generally poor. Although the placement of multiple biliary stents is preferred, multiple stenting in a BDS is difficult. Alternatively, single or multiple st...
متن کاملPost-biliary sphincterotomy bleeding despite covered metallic stent deployment
OBJECTIVES Several endoscopic techniques have been proposed for the management of post-sphincterotomy bleeding. Lately, self-expandable metal stents deployment has gained popularity especially as a rescue therapy when other endoscopic techniques fail. METHODS-RESULTS We report the case report of a massive post-sphincterotomy bleeding in a patient with a self-expandable metal stent in the bili...
متن کاملRecent Advances of Biliary Stent Management
Recent progress in chemotherapy has prolonged the survival of patients with malignant biliary strictures, leading to increased rates of stent occlusion. Even we employed metallic stents which contributed to higher rates and longer durations of patency, and occlusion of covered metallic stents now occurs in about half of all patients during their survival. We investigated the complication and pa...
