Rescue technique using a diathermic dilator for an unremovable stent in malignant perihilar biliary obstruction.
Endoscopic biliary stenting is a useful and safe technique for malignant biliary obstructions. A plastic stent is frequently used because of its low cost and ease of deployment. However, it is occasionally difficult to remove a plastic stent because of severe stricture. We describe a rescue technique for immovable plastic stents, using a diathermic dilator in a case of perihilar biliary obstruc...
متن کاملRecanalization using diathermic dilator for stent obstruction due to tumor ingrowth.
Endoscopic biliary drainage has become established as first-line treatment for obstructive jaundice. However, if the stent becomes obstructed by tumor ingrowth, re-intervention can sometimes be challenging. One of the challenges can be difficulty in dilating the stricture. Several techniques for resolving this have been reported, such as those using the Soehendra stent retriever or a needle-kni...
متن کاملBalloon enteroscopy-assisted biliary drainage using a diathermic dilator followed by placement of a novel ultra-slim metallic stent.
Endoscopic management of malignant biliary stricture after hepaticojejunostomy is challenging. Although balloon enteroscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been developed, dedicated devices are still insufficient. We present a case of successful enteroscopic dilation using a wire-guided diathermic dilator [1–5], and placement of a novel, ultra-slim, uncovered,...
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...
متن کاملEndoscopic Stent Placement in the Palliation of Malignant Biliary Obstruction
Biliary drainage with biliary stent placement is the treatment of choice for palliation in patients with malignant biliary obstruction caused by unresectable neoplasms. In such patients, the endoscopic approach can be initially used with percutaneous radiological intervention. In patients with unresectable malignant distal bile duct obstructions, endoscopic biliary drainage with biliary stent p...
