Metallic stents in biliary disease.

M E Roddie, A Adam

    Bailliere'S Clinical Gastroenterology
    |June 1, 1992
    PubMed
    Summary

    Self-expanding metallic stents offer minimally invasive treatment for biliary strictures. Wallstents are effective for malignant strictures, while Gianturco zigzag stents are better for benign strictures, avoiding tumor ingrowth issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Interventional Radiology
    • Medical Device Engineering

    Background:

    • Biliary strictures, both benign and malignant, necessitate effective non-surgical treatment options.
    • Metallic endoprostheses have advanced the management of biliary strictures, offering improved patient outcomes.
    • Minimally invasive implantation techniques reduce patient trauma and hospital stays.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of metallic endoprostheses for biliary stricture management.
    • To compare the performance of Wallstents and Gianturco zigzag stents in treating malignant and benign biliary strictures.
    • To assess stent occlusion rates and migration in patients with biliary strictures.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical data on self-expanding metallic endoprostheses, specifically Wallstents and Gianturco zigzag stents.
    • Analysis of implantation procedures, patient outcomes, and complication rates.
    • Comparison of stent performance in malignant versus benign biliary stricture contexts.

    Main Results:

    • Wallstents demonstrate suitability for malignant strictures, with lower occlusion rates and no reported migration compared to plastic endoprostheses.
    • Gianturco zigzag stents are associated with rapid occlusion in malignant strictures due to tumor ingrowth.
    • Gianturco zigzag stents are effective for recurrent benign biliary strictures due to their strong radial force.

    Conclusions:

    • Self-expanding metallic endoprostheses have significantly improved the non-surgical treatment of biliary strictures.
    • Wallstents are recommended for malignant biliary strictures, offering a favorable alternative to plastic stents.
    • Gianturco zigzag stents are a valuable option for complex benign biliary strictures unresponsive to conventional treatments.
