    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Interventional Radiology

    Background:

    • Obstructive jaundice presents a significant clinical challenge.
    • Palliative treatment options for unresectable biliary obstruction are crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoprostheses for internal biliary drainage in patients with obstructive jaundice.

    Main Methods:

    • Endoscopic or percutaneous insertion of endoprostheses for internal biliary drainage in 150 patients.
    • Comparison of outcomes with palliative surgical bypass in a control group.

    Main Results:

    • Successful drainage was achieved in 123 patients, with 99 having permanent drainage.
    • Plasma bilirubin normalized in 64 patients; outcomes were comparable to surgical bypass.

  • Low complication rates, with most related to transhepatic cholangiography.

    • Conclusions:

    • Endoprosthesis insertion is a relatively easy and low-risk procedure for biliary drainage.
    • It serves as a valuable alternative to surgical bypass for palliation in unresectable lesions.
    • Effective for temporary drainage, transient benign obstructions, or permanent palliation.
