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
Introduction: Percutaneous endoscopic biliary lithectomy (PEBL) can be performed through preexisting drain tracts, offering ductal clearance and definitive management for patients with complicated gallstone disease unable to undergo conventional therapy. The technique has not been widely adopted by general surgeons. Herein, we describe our technique with surgeon-performed PEBL and present initial results. Materials and Methods: A single institutional retrospective review of the electronic medical record was performed for patients who underwent percutaneous choledochoscopy between February 2019 and November 2020. All operations were performed by 1 of 2 board-certified general surgeons with fellowship training in surgical endoscopy. Preoperative, operative, and postoperative variables were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: Thirteen patients underwent PEBL. Seventeen total procedures were performed; 4 patients underwent repeat intervention. The diagnoses leading to PEBL were: cholelithiasis (8), choledocholithiasis (4), and recurrent pancreatitis (1). Complete ductal clearance was achieved in 9 patients (69.2%) during the initial procedure. The remaining 4 patients (30.8%) underwent repeat PEBL, at which point complete ductal clearance was then achieved. The percutaneous drain was removed at the time of final procedure in 5 patients (38.5%) or within 5 weeks in the remaining 8 (61.5%). No intraoperative complications occurred, and no pancreatic or biliary postoperative complications or recurrences were noted with a mean follow-up of 279 ± 240 days. Conclusion: Surgeon-performed PEBL is a safe and effective method of achieving biliary ductal clearance. The technique is readily achieved following basic endoscopic and fluoroscopic principles and should be understood by all physicians managing gallstone disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biliary complications are common in pediatric liver transplant. Strictures resistant to interventional radiology procedures can be extremely challenging to manage and may result in the need of surgery or retransplantation. METHODS This case report illustrates the use of biodegradable stents post left lateral segment live donor liver transplant in a pediatric patient with a recalcitrant chronic stricture of the biliary-enteric anastomosis. The patient developed a high stricture requiring multiple interventions and eventual access of both the segment II and segment III ducts of the graft. RESULTS To ensure adequate biliary drainage, two biodegradable stents were deployed using a "kissing-stent" technique. The stents were successfully deployed and allowed the patient to remain free from an internal-external biliary drain for 11 months, with eventual redeployment of an additional biodegradable stent. CONCLUSION In patients with recalcitrant stenosis of the biliary anastomosis, biodegradable stents may provide durable drainage, optimizing graft function and delaying retransplantation in addition to keeping patients without external devices, thus improving quality of life.

Effectiveness and complication rates of percutaneous transhepatic fluoroscopy-guided management of common bile duct stones: a single-arm meta-analysis. Eur Radiol 2023; 33:7398-7407. [PMID: 37326663 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-09846-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2022] [Revised: 05/15/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the success and complication rate of percutaneous transhepatic fluoroscopy-guided management (PTFM) for the removal of common bile duct stones (CBDS). METHODS A comprehensive literature search of multiple databases was conducted to identify original articles published between January 2010 and June 2022, reporting the success rate of PTFM for the removal of CBDS. A random-effect model was used to summarize the pooled rates of success and complications with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Eighteen studies involving 2554 patients met the inclusion criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. Failed or infeasible endoscopic management was the most common indication of PTFM. The meta-analytic summary estimates of PTFM for the removal of CBDS were as follows: rate of overall stone clearance 97.1% (95% CI, 95.7-98.5%); stone clearance at first attempt 80.5% (95% CI, 72.3-88.6%); overall complications 13.8% (95% CI, 9.7-18.0%); major complications 2.8% (95% CI, 1.4-4.2%); and minor complications 9.3% (95% CI, 5.7-12.8%). Egger's tests showed the presence of publication bias with respect to the overall complications (p = 0.049). Transcholecystic management of CBDS had an 88.5% pooled rate for overall stone clearance (95% CI, 81.2-95.7%), with a 23.0% rate for complications (95% CI, 5.7-40.4%). CONCLUSION The systematic review and meta-analysis answer the questions of the overall stone clearance, clearance at first attempt, and complication rate of PTFM by summarizing the available literature. Percutaneous management could be considered in cases with failed or infeasible endoscopic management of CBDS. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT This meta-analysis highlights the excellent stone clearance rate achieved through percutaneous transhepatic fluoroscopy-guided removal of common bile duct stones, potentially influencing clinical decision-making when endoscopic treatment is not feasible. KEY POINTS • Percutaneous transhepatic fluoroscopy-guided management of common bile duct stones had a pooled rate of 97.1% for overall stone clearance and 80.5% for clearance at the first attempt. • Percutaneous transhepatic management of common bile duct stones had an overall complication rate of 13.8%, including a major complication rate of 2.8%. • Percutaneous transcholecystic management of common bile duct stones had an overall stone clearance rate of 88.5% and a complication rate of 23.0%.

Abstract
Background and Objectives. Cholestasis activates complex mechanisms of liver injury and as a result has an increased production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP). Depending on the stage of liver disease, different matrix metalloproteinases expressions have been detected and could serve as indirect biomarkers as well as therapeutic targets. MMP-9 proteolytic activity has a proven role in both liver regeneration and neoplastic cell invasion in various malignancies. The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to evaluate the effect of external biliary drainage on enzyme activity of MMP-9 in the serum of patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction. Materials and Methods. Between November 2020 and April 2021, 45 patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction underwent percutaneous biliary drainage following determination of serum MMP-9 enzyme activity (before treatment and 4 weeks after the treatment) by gelatin zymography. Results. MMP-9 values decreased statistically significantly 4 weeks after percutaneous biliary drainage (p = 0.028) as well as the value of total bilirubin (p < 0.001), values of direct bilirubin (p < 0.001), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (p < 0.001), alanine transaminase (ALT) (p < 0.001), and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) (p < 0.001). Conclusions. In patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction treated by external percutaneous biliary drainage for cholestasis resolution, a significant reduction in MMP-9 serum values was noted 4 weeks after the treatment.

Abstract
Purpose To assess the association between sarcopenia and the risk of early biliary infection (EBI) after percutaneous transhepatic biliary stent (PTBS) placement in patients with inoperable biliary tract cancer (BTC). Patients and methods In this single center, retrospective observational study, patients diagnosed with inoperable BTC undergoing PTBS placement between January 2013 and July 2021 were enrolled. Preoperative sarcopenia was defined based on skeletal muscle mass measured by computed tomography images on the level of third lumbar vertebra within one month before PTBS placement. Patients were divided into two groups in accordance with the status of sarcopenia. Univariate and further multivariate logistic analyses were performed to determine predictors for EBI. Stratified and interactive analyses were conducted to investigate the stability of results. Further receiver operating characteristic curve was performed to determine the predictive value of sarcopenia on EBI after PTBS placement. Results Totally, 134 patients were included in this retrospective study, with 45 (33.6%) patients characterized as sarcopenia. The incidence rate of EBI was 26.9% (36/134). Multivariate analyses demonstrated that sarcopenia [Odds ratio (OR), 2.75; 95%CI: 1.11-6.77; P=0.028], obstruction length (OR, 1.04; 95%CI: 1.00-1.08; P=0.030) and diabetes (OR, 2.46; 95%CI: 1.01-5.96; P=0.047) were significant predictors of EBI. There were no significant interactions in different subgroups (P for interaction > 0.05). Moreover, the areas under the curves (AUC) revealed that the combined index containing sarcopenia, obstruction length, and diabetes showed the better predictive value (AUC= 0.723) than either one alone. Conclusion Sarcopenia increased the risk of EBI in patients with inoperable BTC after PTBS placement. Preoperative assessment of sarcopenia may aid in risk stratification. Patients with sarcopenia should be given intensive monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with malignant hilar biliary strictures can suffer from obstructive jaundice. Controversy remains on the optimal approach to obtain preoperative or palliative biliary drainage in these patients. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to compare the two modalities most commonly used in this scenario: endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC). METHODS MEDLINE via PubMed was searched for relevant articles published from 2005 to April 2019. Following outcome measures were used to compare ERCP and PTC: therapeutic success rate, cholangitis, pancreatitis, bleeding, tube dislocation, reintervention rate, mortality such as 30d mortality and in-hospital death, median survival time, drainage patency, duration until decompression and hospital stay. Risk of bias assessment for the retrospective studies was conducted by NOS. RoB 2 was used for RCT. A meta-analysis was performed by using Review Manager 5.3. The certainty of evidence was appraised using GRADE. RESULTS Eleven articles of which one RCT and ten retrospective cohort studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria for data-analysis (1417 patients; 784 ERCP, 633 PTC). The combined odds ratio (OR) for therapeutic succes was 3.5 times higher in the PTC group (95% CI 2.05-5.97; high certainty). In terms of cholangitis, ERCP carried a 1.7-fold risk as compared to PTC (95% CI 0.92-3.08; moderate certainty). Patients who underwent ERCP were 11.50 times more likely to undergo a reintervention (95% CI 3.51-37.70; moderate certainty). ERCP was comparable to PTC in terms of pancreatitis (low certainty), bleeding (high certainty) and tube dislocation rate (moderate certainty). Mortality tended to be numerically higher in the PTC group but low patient numbers, selection bias and study heterogeneity did not allow uniform comparative analysis. CONCLUSIONS In patients with malignant hilar biliary strictures, PTC is associated with a better therapeutic success rate, less cholangitis and lower reintervention rate as compared to ERCP.

Abstract
Acute cholangitis presents with a wide severity spectrum and can rapidly deteriorate from local infection to multiorgan failure and fatal sepsis. The pathophysiology, diagnosis, and general management principles will be discussed in this review article. The focus of this article will be on the role of biliary drainage performed by interventional radiology to manage acute cholangitis. There are specific scenarios where percutaneous drainage should be preferred over endoscopic drainage. Percutaneous transhepatic and transjejunal biliary drainage are both options available to interventional radiology. Additionally, interventional radiology is now able to manage these patients beyond providing acute biliary drainage including cholangioplasty, stenting, and percutaneous cholangioscopy/biopsy.

Impact of Cholestasis on the Sensitivity of Percutaneous Transluminal Forceps Biopsy in 93 Patients with Suspected Malignant Biliary Stricture. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol 2021; 44:1618-1624.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine the effect of hyperbilirubinemia in the sensitivity of percutaneous transluminal forceps biopsy (PTFB) in patients with suspected malignant biliary stricture. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-three patients with suspicion of malignant biliary stricture underwent percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography followed by PTFB. Sensitivity, specificity and predictive values were analysed based on the presence or absence of hyperbilirubinemia, defined as total bilirubin equal to, or higher than 5 mg/dL. Variables included demographic and clinical features, laboratory, tumour type and localization, stricture length, therapeutic approach and histopathology. Additionally, major morbidity and mortality were assessed. RESULTS The overall sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and accuracy of PTFB were 61.1%, 100%, 100%, and 62.4%, respectively. Hyperbilirubinemia affected 57% of patients at the time of PTFB. There were 35 (37%) false negative results, none of them related to tumour type or localization, stricture length, or previous biliary intervention (i.e. PBBD (percutaneous biliary balloon dilatation), ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography)) (p > 0.05). However, when bilirubin was < 5 mg/dL, false negative results decreased globally (p = 0.024) and sensitivity increased significantly for intrahepatic and hilar localization, as well as for colorectal metastasis, gallbladder carcinoma, and pancreatic carcinoma. No major morbidity occurred. CONCLUSION The sensitivity of percutaneous transluminal biopsy for diagnosis of malignant stricture may significantly increase if samples are obtained in the absence of hyperbilirubinemia, without adding morbidity to the procedure.

Abstract
In addition to acute injury requiring interventional radiologic treatments, patients with traumatic injuries can develop delayed or chronic complications. These injuries can involve nearly all solid organs in the abdomen. Coupled with significant improvements in visualizing these injuries with advanced imaging techniques such as minimally invasive procedures, nonoperative management of both acute traumatic injuries and their longer term sequelae has become the norm. This article reviews frequently seen complications of traumatic injury and their management by interventional radiologists.

J Vasc Interv Radiol 2021; 32:569-575. [PMID: 33461872 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvir.2020.12.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2020] [Revised: 12/21/2020] [Accepted: 12/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the association between the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and the risk of early biliary infection (EBI) after the placement of percutaneous transhepatic biliary stents (PTBS) in patients with unresectable malignant biliary obstruction (MBO). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 136 patients with unresectable MBO (82 males and 54 females) treated with PTBS were included in this multicenter retrospective study. PPIs were prescribed to MBO patients with dyspepsia. The risk factors for EBI were identified by univariate and multivariate analyses. The association between the use of PPIs and EBI was assessed by logistic analyses. RESULTS A total of 72 (53%) patients were regular users of PPIs, and 33 (24%) patients developed EBI after PTBS. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that diabetes (hazard ratio [HR], 20.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 5.6-72.9; P <.001), biliary stones (HR, 20.3; 95% CI, 5.6-72.9; P <.001) and PPIs (HR, 4.0; 95% CI, 1.2-12.8; P =.020) were risk factors for EBI. Further analyses of the correlation between the duration of PPIs use and EBI demonstrated that a prolonged use of PPIs significantly increased the risk of EBI (PPIs for <15 days vs 15-30 days: HR, 10.2; 95% CI, 3.1-33.3; P <.001; and PPIs <15 days vs ≥30 days; HR, 20.4; 95% CI, 2.2-192.3; P <.001). CONCLUSION The use of PPIs increased the risk of EBI after PTBS in patients with unresectable MBO. Furthermore, the risk of EBI increased with a prolonged duration of PPIs use.

Preventive Transhepatic Tract Embolisation after Percutaneous Biliary Interventions: A Systematic Review. Can J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2020; 2020:8849284. [PMID: 33083384 PMCID: PMC7556068 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8849284] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2020] [Revised: 09/23/2020] [Accepted: 09/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Preventive transhepatic tract embolisation (PTTE) after percutaneous biliary intervention (PBI) may reduce adverse events. The aim of this systematic review was to analyse feasibility, safety, and efficacy of PTTE with different embolic agents. A systematic literature research was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. The identified studies were analysed concerning study quality, number of cases, indication, embolic agent, embolisation technique, success, and embolisation-related adverse events. Out of 62 identified records, 7 studies of mainly moderate study quality published through 2019 were included for further analysis. Cyanoacrylate (n = 4), gelatin sponge (n = 2), and coils (n = 1) were used as embolic agents in a total number of 314 patients. Technical success was 96-100%. Embolisation-related adverse events (glue migration, pain) occurred in 10/314 (3.2%) patients. Reduction of PBI-related pain was approved by one controlled study; haemorrhage events were reduced but not clearly significant. Overall, biliary leak, transhepatic bleeding, and PBI-related pain occurred in 7/201 (3.5%), 1/293 (0.3%), and 17/46 (36.9%) documented patients after PTTE. Adverse events which likely could not have been prevented by PTTE occurred in 23/180 (12.8%) patients. Embolic agents were not compared. In conclusion, PTTE is feasible and safe. It is effective concerning the prevention of PBI-related pain, and it may be effective concerning haemorrhage. Prevention of biliary leak is not proven. It remains unclear which embolic agent should be preferred. A prospective randomised trial including all preventable adverse events is lacking.

Abstract
Purpose: To compare different percutaneous approaches to manage occluded primary uncovered self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) in patients with unresectable malignant hilar biliary obstruction (MHBO).Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was performed in patients with MHBO who underwent percutaneous management of occluded primary uncovered SEMS between January 2014 and January 2018. Patients were assigned into three groups based on the types of secondary stents, which included SEMS, internal-external drainage (IED), and external drainage (ED). Clinical success, requirement for reintervention, survival times, complications, and cost were evaluated.Results: A total of 58 patients were identified, with 21, 9, and 28 patients received SEMS, IED, and ED treatments, respectively. The overall clinical success rate was 67.2% (39/58), with no significant difference among three groups (p = .489). The median time to reintervention was 82, 57, and 61 days for the SEMS, IED, and ED groups, respectively (p = .045 for SEMS vs. IED; p = .011 for SEMS vs. ED). There was no significant difference in the median survival times among three groups (p = .308). Seven patients (12.7%) experienced minor complications including self-limiting haemobilia (n = 3) and catheter-related pain (n = 4). Fourteen patients (24.1%) had major complications, including early cholangitis (n = 8), pancreatitis (n = 3), stent dislodgement (n = 2), and bile leakage (n = 1). There was no statistical difference in the mean cost of the management of occluded primary SEMS between the three groups (p = .162).Conclusion: Uncovered SEMS could provide a longer duration to reintervention compared to the catheter drainages to manage occluded primary SEMS in patients with unresectable MHBO.

Patient radiation dose in percutaneous biliary interventions: recommendations for DRLs on the basis of a multicentre study. Eur Radiol 2019; 29:3390-3400. [PMID: 31016441 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-019-06208-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2018] [Revised: 03/20/2019] [Accepted: 03/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Percutaneous biliary interventions (PBIs) can be associated with a high patient radiation dose, which can be reduced when national diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) are kept in mind. The aim of this multicentre study was to investigate patient radiation exposure in different percutaneous biliary interventions, in order to recommend national DRLs. METHODS A questionnaire asking for the dose area product (DAP) and the fluoroscopy time (FT) in different PBIs with ultrasound- or fluoroscopy-guided bile duct punctures was sent to 200 advanced care hospitals. Recommended national DRLs are set at the 75th percentile of all DAPs. RESULTS Twenty-three facilities (9 interventional radiology depts. and 14 gastroenterology depts.) returned the questionnaire (12%). Five hundred sixty-five PBIs with 19 different interventions were included in the analysis. DAPs (range 4-21,510 cGy·cm2) and FTs (range 0.07-180.33 min) varied substantially depending on the centre and type of PBI. The DAPs of initial PBIs were significantly (p < 0.0001) higher (median 2162 cGy·cm2) than those of follow-up PBIs (median 464 cGy·cm2). There was no significant difference between initial PBIs with ultrasound-guided bile duct puncture (2162 cGy·cm2) and initial PBIs with fluoroscopy-guided bile duct puncture (2132 cGy·cm2) (p = 0.85). FT varied substantially (0.07-180.33 min). CONCLUSIONS DAPs and FTs in percutaneous biliary interventions showed substantial variations depending on the centre and the type of PBI. PBI with US-guided bile duct puncture did not reduce DAP, when compared to PBI with fluoroscopy-guided bile duct puncture. National DRLs of 4300 cGy·cm2 for initial PBIs and 1400 cGy·cm2 for follow-up PBIs are recommended. KEY POINTS • DAPs and FTs in percutaneous biliary interventions showed substantial variations depending on the centre and the type of PBI. • PBI with US-guided bile duct puncture did not reduce DAP when compared to PBI with fluoroscopy-guided bile duct puncture. • DRLs of 4300 cGy·cm2for initial PBIs (establishing a transhepatic tract) and 1400 cGy·cm2for follow-up PBIs (transhepatic tract already established) are recommended.

Risk Prediction for Early Biliary Infection after Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Stent Placement in Malignant Biliary Obstruction. J Vasc Interv Radiol 2019; 30:1233-1241.e1. [PMID: 31208946 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvir.2019.03.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2018] [Revised: 02/15/2019] [Accepted: 03/04/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To establish a nomogram for predicting the occurrence of early biliary infection (EBI) after percutaneous transhepatic biliary stent (PTBS) placement in malignant biliary obstruction (MBO). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this multicenter study, patients treated with PTBS for MBO were allocated to a training cohort or a validation cohort. The independent risk factors for EBI selected by multivariate analyses in the training cohort were used to develop a predictive nomogram. An artificial neural network was applied to assess the importance of these factors in predicting EBI. The predictive accuracy of this nomogram was determined by concordance index (c-index) and a calibration plot, both internally and externally. RESULTS A total of 243 patients (training cohort: n = 182; validation cohort: n = 61) were included in this study. The independent risk factors were length of obstruction (odds ratio [OR], 1.061; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.013-1.111; P = .012), diabetes (OR, 5.070; 95% CI, 1.917-13.412; P = .001), location of obstruction (OR, 2.283; 95% CI, 1.012-5.149; P = .047), and previous surgical or endoscopic intervention (OR, 3.968; 95% CI, 1.709-9.217; P = .001), which were selected into the nomogram. The c-index values showed good predictive performance in the training and validation cohorts (0.792 and 0.802, respectively). The optimum cutoff value of risk was 0.25. CONCLUSIONS The nomogram can facilitate the early and accurate prediction of EBI in patients with MBO who underwent PTBS. Patients with high risk (> 0.25) should be administered more effective prophylactic antibiotics and undergo closer monitoring.

Abstract
Percutaneous biliary interventions have established their role in the management of benign and malignant biliary disease. There are limited data comparing procedures performed by gastroenterologists and interventional radiologists in managing malignant biliary obstruction. Endoscopic procedures performed by gastroenterologists are not completely benign with reported complications ranging from 2% to 15%. It is important that gastroenterologists and interventional radiologists collaborate to form algorithms for management of malignant biliary obstruction which provide safe and efficacious care to these patients.
