Percutaneous stenting offers significant benefits for patients with malignant biliary stenosis, improving their quality of life. This procedure, including percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) and percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy (PTCS), provides effective palliation.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Malignant biliary stenosis significantly impacts patient quality of life, especially in unresectable or recurrent cases.
  • Obstructive jaundice necessitates effective palliative interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and utility of percutaneous stenting for malignant biliary stenosis.
  • To assess the role of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) and percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy (PTCS) in managing biliary obstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) was performed in 92 patients with obstructive jaundice.
  • Endoprosthesis implantation was attempted in 14 patients, with percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy (PTCS) used to facilitate guidewire passage when needed.

  • A Miller double-mushroom stent was the primary endoprosthesis used.

    • Main Results:

    • Endoprosthesis implantation succeeded in 12 out of 14 attempted cases (85.7%).
    • Percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy (PTCS) proved valuable for guidewire passage and preoperative diagnosis.
    • One patient with recurrent hepatoma experienced long-term palliation (>3 years) with stenting, embolization, and chemotherapy.

    Conclusions:

    • Percutaneous stenting is a beneficial palliative treatment for malignant biliary stenosis, enhancing patient quality of life.
    • PTBD and PTCS are effective techniques for managing obstructive jaundice in patients unsuitable for surgery.
    • Long-term stent patency and palliation are achievable in select cases.
