Early obstruction of a self-expandable metal stent placed for distal malignant biliary obstruction is more likely to occur in the presence of duodenal invasion. An anti-reflux self-expandable metal stent (ARMS) has been developed for the purpose of preventing duodenal fluid reflux into the bile duct. In this study, we evaluated the usefulness and safety of a duckbill-type ARMS (D-ARMS) in the situation of duodenal invasion.
We retrospectively analyzed 10 consecutive patients who received D-ARMS for distal malignant biliary obstruction with duodenal invasion. We evaluated non-occlusion cholangitis, recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO), and adverse events after D-ARMS placement.
There were no cases of non-occlusion cholangitis. RBO was observed in 2 patients (20%), and time to RBO was 236 days and 117 days, respectively. The causes of RBO were overgrowth and sludge formation. The median time to RBO was 382 days (range, 117-382 days). Only one adverse event was observed (cholecystitis).
D-ARMS shows potential as an optimal ARMS.
对于因远端恶性胆管梗阻而置入的自膨式金属支架,十二指肠受侵时更易发生早期梗阻。为防止十二指肠液反流至胆管,已研发出一种抗反流自膨式金属支架(ARMS)。在本研究中,我们评估了鸭嘴型ARMS(D-ARMS)在十二指肠受侵情况下的有效性和安全性。
我们回顾性分析了10例因远端恶性胆管梗阻伴十二指肠受侵而接受D-ARMS治疗的连续患者。我们评估了D-ARMS置入后的非闭塞性胆管炎、复发性胆管梗阻(RBO)及不良事件。
无非闭塞性胆管炎病例。2例患者(20%)出现RBO,RBO发生时间分别为236天和117天。RBO的原因是过度生长和胆泥形成。RBO的中位时间为382天(范围117 - 382天)。仅观察到1例不良事件(胆囊炎)。
D-ARMS显示出作为一种理想ARMS的潜力。
