National guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. World J Gastroenterol 2024; 30:1018-1042.

Abstract
A consensus meeting of national experts from all major national hepatobiliary centres in the country was held on May 26, 2023, at the Pakistan Kidney and Liver Institute & Research Centre (PKLI & RC) after initial consultations with the experts. The Pakistan Society for the Study of Liver Diseases (PSSLD) and PKLI & RC jointly organised this meeting. This effort was based on a comprehensive literature review to establish national practice guidelines for hilar cholangiocarcinoma (hCCA). The consensus was that hCCA is a complex disease and requires a multidisciplinary team approach to best manage these patients. This coordinated effort can minimise delays and give patients a chance for curative treatment and effective palliation. The diagnostic and staging workup includes high-quality computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. Brush cytology or biopsy utilizing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is a mainstay for diagnosis. However, histopathologic confirmation is not always required before resection. Endoscopic ultrasound with fine needle aspiration of regional lymph nodes and positron emission tomography scan are valuable adjuncts for staging. The only curative treatment is the surgical resection of the biliary tree based on the Bismuth-Corlette classification. Selected patients with unresectable hCCA can be considered for liver transplantation. Adjuvant chemotherapy should be offered to patients with a high risk of recurrence. The use of preoperative biliary drainage and the need for portal vein embolisation should be based on local multidisciplinary discussions. Patients with acute cholangitis can be drained with endoscopic or percutaneous biliary drainage. Palliative chemotherapy with cisplatin and gemcitabine has shown improved survival in patients with irresectable and recurrent hCCA.

Abdom Radiol (NY) 2023; 48:2456-2465. [PMID: 37160766 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-023-03936-8] [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: 02/11/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/11/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze the risk factors and develop a clinical prediction model for early biliary infection (EBI) after percutaneous transhepatic biliary stenting (PTBS) in patients with malignant biliary obstruction (MBO). METHODS The clinical data of 236 patients with MBO treated with PTBS from June 2012 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Independent risk factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression, and a nomogram model was constructed based on the results. Discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness of this model were further assessed. RESULTS The technical success rate of PTBS was 100%, and EBI after PTBS was 20.3%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hilar MBO (P = 0.020), diabetes (P = 0.001), previous surgical or endoscopic intervention (P = 0.007), procedure time > 60 min (P = 0.007), and intraprocedural biliary hemorrhage (P = 0.003) were independent risk factors for EBI after PTBS. A nomogram model was developed to predict the probability of EBI. ROC curves showed good discrimination of the model (area under curve = 0.831). The calibration plot indicated that the predicted probability of EBI by this model was in good agreement with the actual probability of EBI. The DCA curves showed that the net benefit of nomogram-assisted decisions was higher than or equal to the net benefit of treatment for all or none at a wide threshold probability (0-0.8). CONCLUSION The nomogram model based on the above independent risk factors can predict the probability of EBI and model-assisted treatment decisions contribute to improved clinical outcome. Therefore, MBO patients with probability of EBI > 0.20 based on the model should be recommended for perioperative broad-spectrum antibiotics and close monitoring.

A preliminary single-center investigation of percutaneous biliary stenting in malignant hilar biliary obstruction: what impacts the clinical success and the long-term outcomes? Support Care Cancer 2021; 29:6781-6792.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to investigate the influencing factors that may impact the clinical success, jaundice-free time, and overall survival in patients of malignant hilar biliary obstruction (MHBO) treated with a self-expanding metallic stent (SEMS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients diagnosed with MHBO and treated with SEMS through percutaneous access from 1 Jul. 2013 to 1 Jul. 2018 were enrolled in this monocentric study. Demographic information, disease baseline measurements, and interventional strategies were collected and examined. Bilirubin was measured 1-3 days before and 3-7 days after stenting using the unit of "μmol/L." The bilirubin reduction ratio was compared between different study groups, which were separated by specific characteristics. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate each characteristic's impact on jaundice-free time (JF) and overall survival time (OS). Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS 14.0, p < 0.05 indicated significance. RESULTS Eighty patients were enrolled. Direct bilirubin (DB) and indirect bilirubin (IB) both significantly decreased after stenting (U = 1575.0, p < 0.001; U = 1541.0, p < 0.001). The DB reduction ratio of the "nearby lymph metastases" group was significantly higher (U = 566.0, p = 0.037). The IB reduction ratio in the "single stent" group was significantly higher (U = 554.0, p = 0.018). Sixty-six cases reached jaundice recurrence, the median JF was 6 months, and the 95% confidence interval was 4.411 ~ 7.589 months. Fifty-eight cases ended in death, the median OS was 7 months, and the 95% confidence interval was 5.759 ~ 8.241 months. "Nearby lymph metastases" and "distant metastases" independently impacted OS (OR = 2.344, p = 0.013; OR = 3.239, p = 0.042). "IB reduction ratio" independently impacted both JF and OS (OR = 0.422, p = 0.021; OR = 0.315, p = 0.001). CONCLUSION The goal of treatment in patients with MHBO is to recover liver function. However, the overall survival is greatly impacted by the presence of metastases. Managing to obtain adequate liver function recovery may improve the long-term outcomes in affected patients.

Should patients with unresectable gallbladder cancer with hilar involvement undergo unilateral or bilateral percutaneous biliary drainage in the setting of cholangitis? Clin Exp Hepatol 2021; 7:7-12. [PMID: 34027110 PMCID: PMC8122101 DOI: 10.5114/ceh.2021.104674] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2020] [Accepted: 10/12/2020] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Aim of the study This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of patients with unresectable gallbladder cancer (GBC) with hilar involvement and cholangitis undergoing percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD). Material and methods This retrospective study comprised consecutive patients with unresectable GBC with cholangitis who underwent PTBD. The procedures were categorized as unilateral or bilateral. Bilateral PTBD was classified as simultaneous or sequential. The mean reduction in bilirubin at two weeks was recorded. Complications and mean overall survival were also recorded. Results Thirty-three patients (mean age 54.5 years, 12 males) were included. Thirty patients underwent unilateral drainage. Sequential drainage of the contralateral system was performed in 11 patients. Simultaneous bilateral PTBD was performed in 3 patients. PTBD was technically successful in all patients. Mean reduction in bilirubin was 41.5% in the unilateral group. The fall of bilirubin in the simultaneous bilateral PTBD group was 39%. The mean follow-up duration was 36.5 days. No major complications were encountered. At the last follow-up, 7 patients were alive. The mean overall survival was 34.6 days. Conclusions Patients with unresectable GBC and cholangitis frequently require bilateral drainage. However, prospective studies should be performed to evaluate whether a sequential or simultaneous PTBD should be performed.

Endoscopic Stenting in Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma: When, How, and How Much to Drain? Gastroenterol Res Pract 2019; 2019:5161350.

Abstract
Hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) involves a complex anatomical region where bile ducts, arteries, and veins create a complex network. HCCA can lead to biliary strictures at the main hepatic confluence, involving the right and left radicles. Endoscopic drainage of jaundiced patients with HCCA is challenging and carries a high risk of infective complications. HCCA needs a careful multidisciplinary evaluation to assess the indication and purposes (preoperative/palliative) of the biliary drainage. Biliary drainage in HCCA needs to be planned by magnetic resonance cholangiography in order to study the biliary anatomy and perform a target drainage of the intrahepatic ducts above the malignant hilar stricture; all the opacified intrahepatic ducts above the hilar stricture must be drained to reduce septic complications. Drainage of >50% of the liver volume is important to obtain bilirubin reduction and less complications, but atrophic liver segments (identified by CT scan) do not require drainage due to the increased risk of cholangitis. When preoperative biliary drainage is planned, plastic stents must be inserted. Self-expandable metal stents are indicated for palliative purposes and should be placed only when a complete liver drainage is possible; only uncovered metal stents are indicated to drain malignant hilar strictures to avoid side-branch occlusion.

Abstract
Interventional treatment with stents in pancreatic cancer is a topic that developed during recent years and new fields of palliative stent therapy have evolved. The increasing life expectancy of patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer increases the need for clinical and cost effective therapeutic interventions. Current literature, guidelines, practice and evidence were reviewed. Besides the most obvious biliary stenting via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), pancreatic and gastroduodenal stenting as well as percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) and the rapidly growing field of endosonographic stent implantation in the palliative care of patients with pancreatic cancer are being discussed from several points of view in this review.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Results of endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUBD) are unknown in case of proximal stricture. The aim is to assess clinical outcomes of EUBD in patients with malignant hilar obstruction. METHODS Patients undergoing EUBD with hilar strictures were prospectively included. Primary outcome was clinical success at 7 and 30 days (defined by 50% bilirubin decrease). Secondary outcomes were technical success, procedure-related complications, length of hospital stay, reintervention rate, survival and chemotherapy administration. RESULTS Eighteen patients with a mean age of 68.8 years were included. On 15 classable stenosis, 7 (47%) were noted Bismuth I-II, 7 (47%) Bismuth III, and 1 (6.7%) Bismuth IV. Reasons for EUBD were surgically modified anatomy in 10 patients (55.6%), impassable stricture at ERCP in 7 (38.9%) and duodenal obstruction in 1 (5.6%). Only hepaticogastrostomy was performed. Clinical success was at day 7 and 30 respectively 72.2% and 68.8%. Technical success was 94%. Complications occurred in 3 (16.7%) patients. Median (range) length of hospital stay was 10 (6-35) days. Reintervention rate was 16.7%. Median (range) survival was 79 (5-390) days. Chemotherapy was possible in 10 (55.6%) patients. CONCLUSIONS EUBD is feasible for hilar obstruction for surgically altered anatomy or after ERCP failure. Clinical outcome is satisfactory when considering underlying advanced disease, allowing chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although endoscopic bilateral stent-in-stent (SIS) placement of self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) is one of the major palliative treatments for unresectable malignant hilar biliary obstruction, post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) cholangitis can occur frequently due to inadequate drainage, especially after contrast injection into the biliary tree. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of air cholangiography-assisted stenting. METHODS This study included 47 patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction who underwent endoscopic bilateral SEMS placement using the SIS technique. They were divided into two groups, air (n = 23) or iodine contrast (n = 24) cholangiography. We retrospectively compared comprehensive clinical and laboratory data of both groups. RESULTS There were no significant differences found between the two groups with respect to technical success (87% versus 87.5%, air versus contrast group, respectively), functional success (95% versus 95.2%), 30-day mortality (8.3% versus 8.7%) and stent patency. Post-ERCP adverse events occurred in 5 (21.7%) of the patients in the air group and 8 (33.3%) of the patients in the contrast group. Among these, the rate of cholangitis was significantly lower in the air group (4.8% versus 29.2%, p = 0.048). In multivariate analysis, air cholangiography, technical success and a shorter procedure time were significantly associated with a lower incidence of post-ERCP cholangitis. CONCLUSIONS Air cholangiography-assisted stenting can be a safe and effective method for endoscopic bilateral SIS placement of SEMS in patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction.

Small cell- versus large cell-sized metal stent in endoscopic bilateral stent-in-stent placement for malignant hilar biliary obstruction. Dig Endosc 2015; 27:692-9. [PMID: 25708157 DOI: 10.1111/den.12466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2014] [Accepted: 02/16/2015] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Although the large cell-sized biliary stent facilitates contralateral stent deployment through the mesh of the first metallic stent for stent-in-stent (SIS) technique, there are concerns about its vulnerability to tumor ingrowth. The aim of the present study was to compare the clinical outcomes of endoscopic bilateral SIS placement according to the cell size of a self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS). METHODS A total of 58 patients were enrolled who underwent endoscopic bilateral SIS placement of SEMS for malignant hilar biliary obstruction as a result of cholangiocarcinoma or gallbladder cancer. Finally, 43 patients who underwent successful stent insertion were included in the analysis and divided into the small cell-sized stent (SCS; n = 21) and the large cell-sized stent (LCS; n = 22) groups. We retrospectively compared comprehensive clinical and laboratory data in both groups. RESULTS There were no significant differences between the two groups in successful drainage (SCS vs LCS, 100% vs 100%, respectively), early complications (38.1% vs 18.2%), late complications (14.3% vs 22.7%), stent occlusion (42.9% vs 45.5%), tumor ingrowth (33.3% vs 45.5%) or overgrowth (9.5% vs 0%). Duration of stent patency and overall survival were not significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.086 and P = 0.320, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Endoscopic bilateral SIS placement for malignant hilar biliary obstruction shows no differences in stent patency, survival, complications and clinical course according to the cell size of SEMS.

World J Gastroenterol 2015; 21:4946-4953. [PMID: 25945008 PMCID: PMC4408467 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v21.i16.4946] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2014] [Revised: 12/31/2014] [Accepted: 02/12/2015] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM: To identify criteria for predicting successful drainage of unresectable malignant hilar biliary strictures (UMHBS) because no ideal strategy currently exists.
METHODS: We examined 78 patients with UMHBS who underwent biliary drainage. Drainage was considered effective when the serum bilirubin level decreased by ≥ 50% from the value before stent placement within 2 wk after drainage, without additional intervention. Complications that occurred within 7 d after stent placement were considered as early complications. Before drainage, the liver volume of each section (lateral and medial sections of the left liver and anterior and posterior sections of the right liver) was measured using computed tomography (CT) volumetry. Drained liver volume was calculated based on the volume of each liver section and the type of bile duct stricture (according to the Bismuth classification). Tumor volume, which was calculated by using CT volumetry, was excluded from the volume of each section. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to identify the optimal cutoff values for drained liver volume. In addition, factors associated with the effectiveness of drainage and early complications were evaluated.
RESULTS: Multivariate analysis showed that drained liver volume [odds ratio (OR) = 2.92, 95%CI: 1.648-5.197; P < 0.001] and impaired liver function (with decompensated liver cirrhosis) (OR = 0.06, 95%CI: 0.009-0.426; P = 0.005) were independent factors contributing to the effectiveness of drainage. ROC analysis for effective drainage showed cutoff values of 33% of liver volume for patients with preserved liver function (with normal liver or compensated liver cirrhosis) and 50% for patients with impaired liver function (with decompensated liver cirrhosis). The sensitivity and specificity of these cutoff values were 82% and 80% for preserved liver function, and 100% and 67% for impaired liver function, respectively. Among patients who met these criteria, the rate of effective drainage among those with preserved liver function and impaired liver function was 90% and 80%, respectively. The rates of effective drainage in both groups were significantly higher than in those who did not fulfill these criteria (P < 0.001 and P = 0.02, respectively). Drainage-associated cholangitis occurred in 9 patients (12%). A smaller drained liver volume was associated with drainage-associated cholangitis (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION: Liver volume drainage ≥ 33% in patients with preserved liver function and ≥ 50% in patients with impaired liver function correlates with effective biliary drainage in UMHBS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Objective evaluation tools for assessing the effectiveness of stenting in palliative treatment of malignant biliary obstruction are not satisfactory. Effects of biliary stenting on liver volume change have never been studied. OBJECTIVE We aimed to use volumetry to analyze liver volume changes after endoscopic stenting in bile duct cancer according to the location and number of stents. DESIGN Retrospective review. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS Patients with a diagnosis of hilar or distal bile duct cancer and who underwent biliary metal stenting. INTERVENTIONS ERCP with self-expandable metal stent placement. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Liver volume change after biliary stenting and its comparison according to the location (hilar vs distal common bile duct) and number (hilar bilateral vs hilar unilateral). RESULTS There were 60 patients; 31 were treated for hilar bile duct cancer (13 for bilateral stent and 18 for unilateral stent) and 29 for distal bile duct cancer. Overall mean follow-up duration was 11.7 ± 4.9 weeks. Liver volume increased 17.4 ± 24.1%. The rate of liver growth was rapid during the early period from 4 to 8 weeks. Stenting in hilar bile duct cancer tended to increase liver volume more than distal biliary stents (22.5% vs 11.9%, P = .091). In hilar bile duct cancer, unilateral and bilateral stents showed similar liver volume increases (20.1% and 25.8%, respectively; P = .512). LIMITATIONS Single center, retrospective. CONCLUSIONS Biliary stenting markedly increased liver volume in both hilar and distal bile duct cancer. Our data suggest that liver volume assessment could be a useful tool for evaluating stent efficacy.

Abstract
Hilar cholangiocarcinoma has an extremely poor prognosis and is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage. Palliative management plays an important role in the treatment of patients with inoperable hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Surgical, percutaneous, and endoscopic biliary drainage are three modalities available to resolve obstructive jaundice. Plastic stents were widely used in the past; however, self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) have become popular recently due to their long patency and reduced risk of side branch obstruction, and SEMS are now the accepted treatment of choice for hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Bilateral drainage provides more normal and physiological biliary flow through the biliary ductal system than that of unilateral drainage. Unilateral drainage was preferred until recently because of its technical simplicity. But, with advancements in technology, bilateral drainage now achieves a high success rate and is the preferred treatment modality in many centers. However, the choice of unilateral or bilateral drainage is still controversial, and more studies are needed. This review focuses on the endoscopic method and discusses stent materials and types of procedures for patients with a hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
