Metallic endoprostheses offer effective treatment for biliary stenosis, providing a less traumatic placement and high patency rates compared to plastic stents. Their design minimizes encrustation but allows tumor ingrowth, making them suitable for extrinsic compression cases.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Biliary Interventions

Background:

  • Metallic endoprostheses are used for biliary stenosis treatment.
  • Two types exist: self-expandable and balloon-expandable stents.
  • Fenestrated metallic stents maintain patency of adjacent bile ducts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and characteristics of metallic endoprostheses in biliary stenosis.
  • To compare metallic stents with plastic stents.
  • To identify optimal indications for metallic stent placement.

Main Methods:

  • Transhepatic placement of metallic endoprostheses.
  • Use of self-expandable (e.g., Gianturco, Wallstent) and balloon-expandable stents.
  • Assessment of stent patency, complications, and suitability for different stenosis types.

Main Results:

  • Metallic stents offer less traumatic placement and higher patency rates than plastic stents.
  • Fenestrated design preserves patency of joining bile ducts, beneficial for hilar and intra-hepatic stenosis.
  • Potential for tumor ingrowth and non-retrievability after weeks due to parietal incorporation.

Conclusions:

  • Metallic stenting is advantageous for benign and malignant biliary stenosis due to ease of placement and high patency.
  • Favorable indications include extrinsic compression, particularly in hilar and intra-hepatic regions.
  • While effective, potential complications like tumor ingrowth and non-retrievability require consideration.
