We report a case in an inoperable patient with type IV Klatskin tumor treated by the use of a novel, two piece, Y-configured self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) combined with two (125)I seed strands via bilateral approach. The placement of the Y-shaped SEMS was successful and resulted in adequate biliary drainage. After 2 months of intraluminal brachytherapy (ILBT), both (125)I seed strands and temporary drainage catheter were removed after patency of the expanded stents was confirmed by the cholangiogram. This technique was feasible and could be considered for the treatment of patients with Bismuth type IV Klatskin tumors.
我们报告了一例无法手术的IV型肝门部胆管癌患者,通过使用一种新型的两件式Y形自膨式金属支架(SEMS)并经双侧途径联合两根(125)I籽源链进行治疗。Y形SEMS放置成功,实现了充分的胆汁引流。腔内近距离放疗(ILBT)2个月后,经胆管造影确认扩张后的支架通畅后,取出了两根(125)I籽源链和临时引流导管。该技术是可行的,可考虑用于治疗Bismuth IV型肝门部胆管癌患者。
