Percutaneous Biliary Interventions via the Modified Hutson Loop in Patients with Biliary-Enteric Anastomoses: A Retrospective Study. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol 2024; 47:1083-1092.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to present the institutional experience and algorithm for performing biliary interventions in liver transplant patients using the modified Hutson loop access (MHLA) and the impact of percutaneous endoscopy via the MHLA on these procedures. METHODS Over 13 years, 201 MHLA procedures were attempted on 52 patients (45 liver transplants; 24 living and 21 deceased donors) for diagnostic (e.g., cholangiography) and therapeutic (e.g., stent/drain insertion and cholangioplasty) purposes. The most common indications for MHLA were biliary strictures (60%) and bile leaks (23%). Percutaneous endoscopy was used to directly visualize the biliary-enteric anastomosis, diagnose pathology (e.g., ischemic cholangiopathy), and help in biliary hygiene (removing debris/casts/stones/stents) in 138/201 (69%) procedures. Technical success was defined as cannulating the biliary-enteric anastomosis and performing diagnostic/therapeutic procedure via the MHLA. RESULTS The technical success rate was 95% (190/201). The failure rate among procedures performed with and without endoscopy was 2% (3/138) versus 13% (8/63) (P = 0.0024), and the need for new transhepatic access (to aid the procedure) was 12% (16/138) versus 30% (19/63) (P = 0.001). Despite endoscopy, failure in 2% of the cases resulted from inflamed/friable anastomosis (1/3) and high-grade stricture (2/3) obstructing retrograde cannulation of biliary-enteric anastomosis. Major adverse events (bowel perforation and injury) occurred in 1% of the procedures, with no procedure-related mortality. CONCLUSIONS MHLA-based percutaneous biliary intervention is a safe and effective alternative to managing complications after liver transplant. Percutaneous endoscopy via the MHLA improves success rates and may reduce the need for new transhepatic access. Level of Evidence Level 4.

Abstract
ABSTRACT If the cause of the bile leakage after hepaticojejunostomy is accidental non-anastomosis of one bile duct, it is unlikely that the leakage will resolve spontaneously, and reoperation may be necessary. However, if the patient has contraindications to surgery, other treatments should be considered. In this case report, we describe a new percutaneous tract creation between the isolated right bile duct and Roux-en-Y afferent jejunal loop in a patient who underwent hepaticojejunostomy, and the right bile duct was accidentally not anastomosed with the jejunal loop.

Abstract
Biliary endoscopy is underutilized by interventional radiologists and has the potential to become an effective adjunctive tool to help both diagnose and treat a variety of biliary pathology. This is particularly true in cases where endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography fails or is not feasible due to surgically altered anatomy. Both preoperative clinical and technical procedural factors must be taken into consideration prior to intervention. In this article, clinical evaluation, perioperative management, and procedural techniques for percutaneous biliary endoscopy are reviewed.

ANNALS OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE 2021; 9:456.

Abstract
Background The present study aimed to analyze the scar formation mechanism following Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy (CJS) in a novel rat model of obstructive jaundice. Methods The biliary obstruction model of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats was established in advance, and 24 rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (control group, 1-day ligation group, 3-day ligation group, and 5-day ligation group). Changes in postoperative weight, common bile duct diameter, and laboratory indexes were analyzed to determine the best operation time. Roux-en-Y CJS in rats was studied based on the model, and the rats were randomly divided into 4 groups [control group, 3-day choledochojejunostomy (CJS) group, 7-day CJS group, and 30-day CJS group]. The same indexes were analyzed, and the characteristics of scar formation were evaluated by histopathology and polymerase chain reaction examination. Results The third day after common bile duct ligation is the best time for a Roux-en-Y CJS. The common bile duct diameter expands to 4.2 mm on average, and these physiological characteristics are consistent with current standard clinical findings. After completing CJS, the rats’ weight returned to normal levels, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TB), direct bilirubin (DB), and C-reactive protein (CRP) indexes gradually decreased (P<0.05). Anastomotic stoma diameter tended to narrow with time and was significantly narrower on day 30 than preoperation. After CJS, the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) peaked in the early stage and was still higher than that of the control group in the bile duct wall 1 month postoperatively (P<0.05). Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) expression gradually increased and was higher than that of the control group at each stage postoperatively (P<0.05). Conclusions The rat Roux-en-Y CJS model is more in line with our surgical model, and the clinical condition has potential applicability for the study of CJS scar formation. Scar formation following CJS in rats is characterized by the activation of fibroblasts caused by early inflammatory stimulation, which leads to the proliferation of collagen and smooth muscle fibers, resulting in scars.

Percutaneous Access of the Modified Hutson Loop for Retrograde Cholangiography, Endoscopy, and Biliary Interventions. J Vasc Interv Radiol 2020; 31:2113-2120.e1.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to present the institutional experience of performing endoscopy, cholangiography, and biliary interventions through the modified Hutson loop by interventional radiology. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 61 of 64 modified Hutson loop access procedures were successful. This single-center retrospective study included 61 successful procedures of biliary interventions using existing modified Hutson loops (surgically affixed subcutaneous jejunal limb adjacent to biliary anastomosis or anastomoses) for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes in 21 patients. Seventeen of 21 patients (81%) had undergone liver transplantation. Indications included biliary strictures (n = 18) and biliary leaks (n = 3). The clinical success and complications were evaluated. RESULTS There were 3 of 26 modified Hutson loop retrograde biliary intervention failures (12%) before introduction of endoscopy and no failures (0 of 38 [0%]) subsequently (P = .06). Endoscopy or cholangioscopy was performed in 19 procedures by interventional radiologists. Retrograde biliary interventions included diagnostic cholangiography (n = 26), cholangioplasty (n = 25), stent placement (n = 29), stent retrieval (n = 25), and biliary drainage catheter placement (n = 5). No procedure-related mortality occurred. There was 1 major complication (duodenal perforation) (1.6%) and 12 minor complications (19%). In the 9 patients undergoing therapeutic interventions for biliary strictures, there was a significant decrease in median alkaline phosphatase (288.5 to 174.5 U/L; P = .03). There was a trend toward decrease in median bilirubin levels (1.7 to 1 mg/dL; P = .06) at 1 month post-intervention. CONCLUSIONS The modified Hutson loop provided interventional radiologists a safe and effective alternative access to manage biliary complications in patients with biliary-enteric anastomoses. Introduction of the endoscope in interventional radiology has improved the success rate of these procedures.
