This review covers treatment options for malfunctioning biliary endoprostheses. Endoscopic procedures are preferred when possible, while percutaneous interventions offer solutions for occluded stents, ensuring patient comfort and effective treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Biliary endoprostheses are crucial for managing biliary tract obstructions.
  • Malfunctions, particularly occlusion, necessitate timely intervention.
  • Tumor-related obstructions often require long-term management strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey and compare treatment options for malfunctioning biliary endoprostheses.
  • To highlight the advantages of endoscopic versus percutaneous approaches.
  • To discuss management strategies for occluded endoprostheses in patients with tumors.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on biliary endoprosthesis management.
  • Comparison of endoscopic and percutaneous intervention techniques.
  • Analysis of endoprosthesis performance and occlusion rates.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopic procedures are preferred when anatomically feasible due to lower patient burden.
  • Percutaneous interventions encompass mechanical unclogging, removal, and replacement of occluded endoprostheses.
  • Endoprostheses offer advantages over external-drainage, despite potential for multiple replacements due to occlusion.

Conclusions:

  • Treatment choice for malfunctioning biliary endoprostheses depends on anatomical feasibility and patient condition.
  • Endoscopic intervention is favored for its minimally invasive nature.
  • Effective management of occluded endoprostheses, including repeat interventions, is vital for patients with prolonged life expectancy, especially those with tumors.
