The use of a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) capable of one-step endoscopic ultrasound-guided transmural drainage (EUS-TD) can increase the effectiveness of the procedure. We evaluated the newly developed electrocautery-enhanced (EC) delivery system with a LAMS for one-step EUS-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) or choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDS).
In the animal experiment, an EC-LAMS was advanced into the gallbladder without prior tract dilation in four pigs. A conventional LAMS was inserted in another four pigs as a control group. After the animal experiment, 17 patients underwent EUS-TD using the EC-LAMS (EUS-GBD in 10 patients, EUS-CDS in 7). The primary outcome was the technical success rate.
In the animal study, the mean procedure time was significantly shorter in the EC-LAMS group than in the conventional LAMS group. In the human study, the overall technical success rate was 94.1 %, with one EUS-GBD failure. The clinical success rate was 100 %. The overall adverse event rate was 17.6 %.
One-step EUS-GBD or EUS-CDS using the novel EC-LAMS is a feasible approach that achieves a high success rate and maintains safety.
使用能够一步完成内镜超声引导经壁引流(EUS-TD)的通道保持金属支架(LAMS)可以提高手术的效果。我们评估了新开发的电烧增强(EC)输送系统与 LAMS 一起用于一步 EUS 引导胆囊引流(EUS-GBD)或胆肠吻合术(EUS-CDS)。
在动物实验中,在没有事先进行管腔扩张的情况下,将 EC-LAMS 推进到四只猪的胆囊中。另四只猪插入常规 LAMS 作为对照组。动物实验后,17 名患者接受了使用 EC-LAMS 的 EUS-TD(10 名患者行 EUS-GBD,7 名患者行 EUS-CDS)。主要结局是技术成功率。
在动物研究中,EC-LAMS 组的平均手术时间明显短于常规 LAMS 组。在人类研究中,整体技术成功率为 94.1%,1 例 EUS-GBD 失败。临床成功率为 100%。总不良事件发生率为 17.6%。
使用新型 EC-LAMS 的一步 EUS-GBD 或 EUS-CDS 是一种可行的方法,可实现高成功率并保持安全性。
