Interventional radiology-operated endoscopy-assisted retrograde transnasal placement of a retrievable transhepatic covered biliary stent

چکیده
Biliary stent placement is an adjunct for complex biliary intervention. Patients with benign biliary strictures or aversion to external drainage may benefit from placement of retrievable biliary stents. This report describes a patient with a working diagnosis of benign biliary stricture who underwent interventional radiology-operated endoscopy-guided transnasal placement of a fully covered retrievable biliary stent.

Advanced endoscopy can be used to insert stents (hollow tubes) into various sites of the gastrointestinal tract and this has proved to be a major therapeutic advance. Stents can hold open strictured areas in the oesophagus, the biliary tree, the colon and the gastroduodenal region. Stents are usually positioned in order to overcome stricturing associated with cancerous tumours. They are used as...

Together with biliary drainage, which is an appropriate procedure for unresectable biliary cancer, biliary stent placement is used to improve symptoms associated with jaundice. Owing to investigations comparing percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD), surgical drainage, and endoscopic drainage, many types of stents are now available that can be placed endoscopically. The stents used a...
