Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims Reported incidence of extrahepatic bile duct cancer is higher in Asians than in Western populations. Korea, in particular, is one of the countries with the highest incidence rates of extrahepatic bile duct cancer in the world. Although research and innovative therapeutic modalities for extrahepatic bile duct cancer are emerging, clinical guidelines are currently unavailable in Korea. The Korean Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery in collaboration with related societies (Korean Pancreatic and Biliary Surgery Society, Korean Society of Abdominal Radiology, Korean Society of Medical Oncology, Korean Society of Radiation Oncology, Korean Society of Pathologists, and Korean Society of Nuclear Medicine) decided to establish clinical guideline for extrahepatic bile duct cancer in June 2021. Methods Contents of the guidelines were developed through subgroup meetings for each key question and a preliminary draft was finalized through a Clinical Guidelines Committee workshop. Results In November 2021, the finalized draft was presented for public scrutiny during a formal hearing. Conclusions The extrahepatic guideline committee believed that this guideline could be helpful in the treatment of patients.

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.

Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage for biliary obstruction in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma: a 10-year analysis of safety and outcomes using the CCI index. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2023; 408:109. [PMID: 36847837 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-023-02852-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2022] [Accepted: 02/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/01/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) safety and efficacy in patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PCCA). METHODS This retrospective observational study included patients with PCCA and obstructive cholestasis referred for a PTBD in our institution between 2010 and 2020. Technical and clinical success rates and major complication and mortality rates one month after PTBD were used as main variables. Patients were divided and analyzed into two groups: > 30 and < 30 Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI). We also evaluated post-surgical outcomes in patients undergoing surgery. RESULTS Out of 223 patients, 57 were included. Technical success rate was 87.7%. Clinical success at 1 week was 83.6%, before surgery 68.2%, 80.0% at 2 weeks and 86.7% at 4 weeks. Mean total bilirubin (TBIL) values were 15.1 mg/dL (baseline), 8.1 mg/dL one week after PTBD), 6.1 mg/dL (2 weeks) and 2.1 mg/dL (4 weeks). Major complication rate was 21.1%. Three patients died (5.3%). Risk factors for major complications after the statistical analysis were: Bismuth classification (p = 0.01), tumor resectability (p = 0.04), PTBD clinical success (p = 0.04), TBIL 2 weeks after PTBD (p = 0.04), a second PTBD (p = 0.01), total PTBDs (p = 0.01) and duration of drainage (p = 0.03). Major postoperative complication rate in patients who underwent surgery was 59.3%, with a median CCI of 26.2. CONCLUSION PTBD is safe and effective in the management of biliary obstruction caused by PCCA. Bismuth classification, locally advanced tumors, and failure to achieve clinical success in the first PTBD are factors related to major complications. Our sample reported a high major postoperative complication rate, although with an acceptable median CCI.

MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 58:medicina58121788. [PMID: 36556990 PMCID: PMC9785938 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58121788] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 11/30/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: The aim was to evaluate the association of inflammatory biomarkers with resectability and overall survival in hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study over 72 consecutive surgical cases of Klatskin tumor over an 11-year period. The sample was divided into two groups: 42 surgical resection cases and 30 unresectable tumors. Values of inflammatory ratios were compared according to the resectability. Log-rank test, univariate, and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the overall survival. Results: Subjects were between 42−87 years old (average age of 64.91 ± 9.15 years). According to the procedure: 58.33% benefited from resection (with a 30.95% R0 resection rate) and 41.66% had palliative surgery. Elevated NLR (neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio), PLR (platelet to lymphocyte ratio), and SII (systemic immune-inflammation index), and lower LMR (lymphocyte to monocyte ratio) at admission were associated with unresectable tumors (p < 0.01). For the multivariate Cox proportional hazard models, increased absolute values of NLR, PLR, and SII were associated with lower survival; no differences were observed for LMR absolute value. The cut-off value of NLR ≥ 6 was associated with lower survival. The median survival time for all subjects was 442 days, with 774 days for the resection group and 147 days for the group with palliative surgery. Conclusions: In hilar cholangiocarcinoma, inflammatory ratios are associated with tumor resectability. Tumor excision conferred an important advantage in survival. Elevated NLR, PLR, and SII values at admission significantly increased the hazard ratio. LMR had no influence on survival.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram to predict the risk of pancreatitis after percutaneous transhepatic biliary stent insertion (PTBS) in patients with malignant biliary obstruction (MBO).
Materials and methods
We enrolled 314 patients who underwent PTBS for MBO from March 2016 to July 2021 in this retrospective study. We used univariate analysis to identify potential risk factors, while a multivariate logistic regression model was employed to establish a nomogram for predicting the risk of pancreatitis. The discrimination and calibration of the nomogram were evaluated by estimating the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) and by bootstrap resampling and visual inspection of the calibration curve. The clinical utility of the nomogram was assessed using decision curve analysis (DCA).
Results
After the procedure, 41 (13.1%) patients developed pancreatitis. Based on multivariate logistic regression analysis, young age (OR = 2.57, 95% CI 1.16 to 5.69), stent insertion across the papilla (OR = 6.47, 95% CI 2.66 to 15.70), and visualization of the pancreatic duct (OR = 15.40, 95% CI 6.07 to 39.03) were associated with an elevated risk of pancreatitis. Importantly, the performance of the nomogram was satisfactory, with an identical AUC (0.807, 95% CI 0.730 to 0.883) and high-level agreement between predicted and observed probabilities as suggested in calibration curves. The DCA curve subsequently confirmed the clinical utility.
Conclusion
A predictive nomogram for pancreatitis after PTBS in patients with MBO was successfully established in the present study.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Biliary fistula is a common but serious complication after radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. We aimed to evaluate the influencing factors of biliary fistula after radical resection, to provide insights to the clinical treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
Methods
Patients undergoing radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma from January 1, 2015 to March 31, 2022 were selected. Patients’ personnel characteristics and laboratory test results of patients with and without biliary fistula were collected and compared. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the associated risk factors of biliary fistula.
Results
160 patients undergoing radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma were included, the incidence of postoperative biliary fistulas was 20.63%. There were significant differences in the age, preoperative cholangitis and number of biliary anastomosis between biliary fistula and no biliary fistula patients (all p < 0.05). There were significant differences in the gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) on the first day after surgery, Klebsiella pneumoniae between biliary fistula and no biliary fistula patients (all p < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that age ≥ 65 years (OR 2.035, 95%CI 1.131–3.007), preoperative cholangitis (OR 1.584, 95% CI 1.081–2.361), number of biliary anastomosis ≥ 2(OR 2.866, 95%CI 1.942–3.624), GGT on the first day after surgery ≥ 120 U/L (OR 1.823, 95%CI: 1.274–2.906), preoperative bile culture for Klebsiella pneumoniae (OR 3.181, 95%CI: 2.426–3.992) were the risk factors of postoperative biliary fistulas (all p < 0.05).
Conclusions
There are many independent risk factors for postoperative biliary fistula in patients undergoing radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Clinical medical workers should take early interventions and treatment measures for these high-risk patients to reduce the occurrence of postoperative biliary fistula.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholangiocarcinomas (CCA) are rare tumours originating from bile duct. Due to their asymptomatic nature they are usually diagnosed when the disease is advanced. Little data exists with respect to their incidence and treatment outcomes in low and middle income countries. METHOD A retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database of all patients with perihilar (pCCA) and intrahepatic (iCCA) CCA registered between January 2012 and December 2018 was performed. RESULTS A total of 760 patients, 427 (56.2%) diagnosed with pCCA and 333 (43.8%) of iCCA were included. Patients with localised, locally advanced and metastatic disease in pCCA were 45.5%, 25.9%, 8.5% and that in iCCA were 22.1%, 10.1% and 67.7% respectively. Only 141 (43.9%, 57 - iCCA, 84 -pCCA) of the total 321 patients started on some definitive cancer directed therapy could complete the intended treatment. The overall curative resection rate for all patients of iCCA was 14.5% whereas for patients of pCCA it was only 10.5%. CONCLUSION More than half of CCA patients are not able to complete their intended treatment, being worse for pCCA as compared to iCCA. Early referral and centralisation of treatment for this complex disease might be the way forward to achieve optimal outcomes.

Abstract
Background Endoscopic drainage is the primary treatment for unresectable malignant biliary obstruction (MBO). This study developed and validated a pre-endoscopic predictive score for clinical success after stent placement. Methods Patients with unresectable MBO undergoing ERCP-guided endobiliary stent placement between 2007 and 2017 were randomly divided into derivation (n = 383) and validation (n = 128) cohorts. To develop the risk score, clinical parameters were built by logistic regression to predict (1) ≥ 50% total bilirubin (TB) resolution within 2 weeks and (2) bilirubin normalization (TB level <1.2 mg/dL) within 6 weeks following stenting. The scoring scheme was applied to the validation cohort to test its performance. Results A ≥ 50% TB resolution within 2 weeks was shown in 70.5% of cases. The risk scoring scheme had areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.70 (95% CI, 0.64–0.76) and 0.67 (95% CI, 0.57–0.77) in the derivation and validation cohorts, respectively. Thirty-one percent had TB normalization within 6 weeks after stenting. Significant predictors for TB normalization were extrahepatic biliary obstruction (odds ratio [OR] = 2.35), pre-endoscopic TB level (OR = 0.88), and stent type (OR = 0.42). The AUROC of a risk score for predicting TB normalization within 6 weeks was 0.78 (95% CI, 0.72–0.83) and 0.76 (95% CI, 0.67–0.86) in the derivation and validation cohorts, respectively. A score > 1.30 yielded a specificity of 98% and a positive predictive value of 84% for predicting TB normalization. A score of < -4.18 provided a sensitivity of 80%–90% and a negative predictive value of 90%–93% for predicting the absence of TB normalization. Conclusions The pre-endoscopic scoring system comprising biliary obstruction level, liver biochemistry, and type of stent provides prediction indices for TB normalization within 6 weeks after stenting. This scheme may help endoscopists identify patients with unresectable MBO suited for palliative stenting.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the relative clinical efficacy associated with the unilateral and bilateral insertion of a stent with a radioactive strand (RS) for the treatment of inoperable hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) patients. METHODS From January 2017 to June 2020, consecutive patients diagnosed with inoperable HCCA underwent either unilateral or bilateral stent with RS insertion in our hospital. Outcomes compared between these groups included rates of technical success, clinical success, stent-related complications, stent patency and overall survival (OS). RESULTS Unilateral and bilateral stent with RS insertion procedures were performed in 36 and 30 patients over the study period, respectively, with 100% technical and clinical success rates in both groups. No instances of procedure-related complications were reported. Cholangitis was observed in 7 (19.4%) and 6 (20%) patients in unilateral and bilateral groups (p= .955), respectively, while these groups exhibited respective cholecystitis in 2 (5.5%) and 1 (3.3%) cases, respectively (p=.662), and stent restenosis in 9 (25%) and 7 (23.3%) cases, respectively (p=.661). The median duration of stent patency in the unilateral and bilateral groups was comparable at 208 and 222 d, respectively (p=.889). All patients died over the course of follow-up, with similar median OS rates in the unilateral and bilateral groups of 250 and 246 d, respectively (p=.483). CONCLUSIONS These data indicated that similar inoperable HCCA patient clinical outcomes are achieved following stent with RS insertion regardless of whether it is conducted via a unilateral or bilateral approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To overcome the technical difficulty of bilateral stent-in-stent placement, large cell-type biliary stents have been developed. However, most of the studies using large cell-type stents were conducted with endoscopic method. PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous stent placement with a stent-in-stent method using large cell-type stents in patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction. MATERIAL AND METHODS From December 2015 and October 2018, 51 patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction were retrospectively studied. All of the patients underwent bilateral (n=46) or unilateral (n=5) stenting in a T, Y, or X configuration with a stent-in-stent method using large cell-type stents. Technical success, complications, successful internal drainage, stent patency, and patient survival were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 118 stents were successfully placed in 51 patients (100.0%). Three patients had minor complications with self-limiting hemobilia. Major complications were not observed in any patient. Successful internal drainage was achieved in 45 patients (88.2%). Clinical follow-up information until death or the end of the study was available for 50 of 51 patients. The median patient survival was 285.5 days (95% confidence interval [CI] 197-374). Stent dysfunction occurred in 16 patients (35.6%) due to tumor ingrowth (n=9) or tumor ingrowth combined with biliary sludge (n=7) among the patients who achieved successful internal drainage. Median stent patency was 179 days (95% CI 104-271). CONCLUSION Percutaneous stent-in-stent placement with large cell-type stents is technically feasible and safe, and can be an effective technique in patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical results of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) in patients with non-operable malignant biliary tract obstruction (MBTO) and the survival benefit of internal drainage. METHODS Prospective data of consecutive patients of PTBD from May 2014 to August 2017 was analyzed for 30-day, 90-day and 1-year mortality, and mean survival of patients undergoing external drainage (ED) and internal drainage (ID) using internal-external ring biliary catheterization or biliary stent were compared. Other important variables evaluated were drop in the total bilirubin (TBil) levels, improvement in pain and pruritus, procedure-related complications, and patient satisfaction. RESULTS In 87 cases (54 male, 33 female) with mean age 37.3 y (22-70 y; 95% CI: 31.1 y-43.5 y), 10, 45 and 32 patients underwent stenting, external and internal-external catheterization, respectively (total 152 procedures [> 1 in 35.63%, n = 31]). PTBD resulted in decrease in mean TBil by 8.2738 ± 0.912 mg/dL at 30 days (P < 0.001), 55.14% (n = 48) cases reaching 3 mg/dL at mean 45 days, and 35/48 cases received chemotherapy. Overall mortality was 6.89%, 37.93% and 90.80% at 30 days, 90 days and 1 year, respectively. Mean survival with ID (236.40 ± 33.37 days) was better than with ED (110.35 ± 26.16 days) (P < 0.001). Pain (62.06%; n = 54; mean Visual Analog Scale [VAS] score = 6.7) improved significantly (mean VAS score 3.4; P < 0.001). Pruritus (n = 29) was relieved in 100% of the cases. Complication rate of 18.39% (n = 16) and no procedure-related death were seen. CONCLUSION PTBD offers a safe and significant improvement in TBil, pain, and pruritus in non-operable MBTO, with ID offering additional survival benefit over ED.

Abstract
Percutaneous biliary interventions are among the commonly performed nonvascular radiological interventions. Most common of these interventions is the percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage for malignant biliary obstruction. Other biliary procedures performed include percutaneous cholecystostomy, biliary stenting, drainage for bile leaks, and various procedures like balloon dilatation, stenting, and large-bore catheter drainage for bilioenteric or post-transplant anastomotic strictures. Although these procedures are being performed for ages, no standard guidelines have been formulated. This article attempts at preparing guidelines for performing various percutaneous image-guided biliary procedures along with discussion on the published evidence in this field.

Abstract
Excessive growth of tumor within biliary wall and formation of biofilm on inner surface of stent can cause restenosis or even obstruction after stent implantation. Therefore, it is important and valuable to develop a new biliary stent for anti-cholangiocarcinoma and anti-biofilm formation. Herein, we designed, prepared and primarily evaluated a new trilayered film for biliary stents consisting of one poly (lactic acid) (PLA) layer loaded with anti-tumor paclitaxel (PTX layer), one middle PLA isolation layer (isolation layer) and one PLA layer loaded with antimicrobial ofloxacin (OFLX layer). It is postulated that the PTX layer releases drug towards biliary wall with tumor, the OFLX layer releases drug towards lumen of bile duct and the isolation layer is used to separate from the PTX layer and the OFLX layer and facilitate drug release in unidirectional way. The prepared trilayered films were characterized in terms of morphology, microstructure, crystallinity and biodegradability. It was found that the films could effectively tune drug release by addition of different amounts of drug or PEG, release PTX and OFLX in opposite directions, effectively inhibit the proliferation of human cholangiocarcinoma RBE cells, the adherence of E. coli and S. aureus and the formation of biofilm in vitro. It is potential that the trilayered films can be used to fabricate a new biliary stent with a dual function of anti-cholangiocarcinoma and anti-biofilm formation.

Abstract
Biliary-stent implantation has become an effective treatment for patients with malignant obstructive jaundice caused by hepatobiliary carcinoma. Stent restenosis due to tumor ingrowth is a common problem. In this study, we assessed a biodegradable form of magnesium (Mg) for its anticancer effect on hepatobiliary carcinoma, compared to the conventional stent material of titanium (Ti). The results showed that a Mg extract inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis in human cholangiocarcinoma cells, while a Mg plate inhibited cell adhesion and destroyed the cytoskeleton in the process of biodegradation. In animal experiments with H22 tumor-bearing mice, Mg wires implanted in tumors exhibited an inhibitory effect on their growth compared with Ti wires. Fifteen days after implantation of metal wires, the mean tumor volume and weight in the Mg group were significantly smaller than in the Ti group. We observed the dynamic-degradation process of Mg wires in tumors and generation of H2 gas via soft X-ray photography and scanning electron microscopy. Histopathological analyses showed that apoptosis of tumor cells around Mg wires significantly increased, expression of carbonic anhydrase 9 significantly decreased, and the upstream protein hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha also decreased to some extent. Taken together, these results indicated that biodegradable Mg had antitumor properties both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting its potential application as a novel material for biodegradable biliary stents.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to assess the relative clinical efficacy of treating malignant hilar biliary obstruction (MHBO) via percutaneous unilateral or bilateral metal stenting. Relevant articles up to December 2019 were identified within the Web of science, Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases. Stent dysfunction served as the primary endpoint, while we assessed technical success, clinical success, early and late complication incidence, and overall survival as secondary outcomes. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for dichotomous variables. Hazard ratio (HR) with 95% CI were determined for overall survival. This meta-analysis included seven studies. Six studies were non-randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and one study was a RCT. A total of 888 MHBO patients underwent either percutaneous unilateral (n = 376) or bilateral (n = 512) metal stenting in these seven studies. We detected no significant differences in stent dysfunction rates (OR 0.97; 95% CI 0.67, 1.41, P = 0.89), technical success rates (OR 1.10; 95% CI 0.53, 2.29, P = 0.81), clinical success rates (OR 0.72; 95% CI 0.43, 1.22, P = 0.22), early complication rates (OR 0.82; 95% CI 0.34, 1.98, P = 0.66), late complication rates (OR 0.87; 95% CI 0.29, 2.63, P = 0.81), or overall survival (HR: 0.99; 95% CI 0.83, 1.17, P = 0.88) between unilateral and bilateral groups. Funnel plots demonstrated no obvious publication bias of these primary and secondary endpoints. From a clinical perspective, percutaneous unilateral and bilateral metal stenting are similarly effective for treatment of patients with MHBO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia is emerging as a prognostic factor in patients with malignant diseases. The prognostication of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC) with obstructive jaundice was complex, because these patients suffered compete mortality events beyond cancer itself. Our study was to investigate the association between low skeletal-muscle index and overall survival (OS) after percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) for obstructive jaundice due to PHC. METHODS We performed a retrospective survival analysis of patients undergoing PTBD for PHC-related obstructive jaundice between January 2016 and March 2019. Using computed tomography, we measured skeletal-muscle mass at the third lumbar vertebra (L3) to obtain a skeletal-muscle index (SMI). Then, we compared OS between low- and high-SMI groups. Furthermore, factors that could potentially affect OS were assessed. RESULTS One hundred and four patients (56 males; mean age 66 ± 12 years) were analyzed. Median OS after PTBD was 150 days. OS was shorter in patients with low SMI than in those with high SMI (median OS, 120 vs. 270 days; P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis indicated that low SMI (hazard ratio [HR] 3.46; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14-5.60; P < 0.001), intrahepatic metastasis (HR 2.98; 95% CI 1.89-4.69; P < 0.001) and elevated carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 level (HR 1.00; 95% CI 1.00-1.00; P = 0.04) were significantly associated with OS. CONCLUSION Low SMI was a predictor of dismal OS after PTBD for patients with PHC-related obstructive jaundice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To retrospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for delayed arterial bleeding secondary to percutaneous self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement in patients with malignant biliary obstruction (MBO). METHODS From January 1997 to September 2017, 1858 patients underwent percutaneous SEMS placement for MBO at a single tertiary referral center. Among them, 19 patients (mean age, 70.2 [range, 52-82] years; 13 men) presented with delayed SEMS-associated arterial bleeding and underwent TAE. RESULTS The incidence of delayed arterial bleeding was 1.0% (19/1858) after SEMS placement, with a median time interval of 225 days (range, 22-2296). Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) showed pseudoaneurysm alone close to the stent mesh (n = 10), pseudoaneurysm close to the stent mesh with contrast extravasation to the duodenum (n = 3), pseudoaneurysm close to the stent mesh with arteriobiliary fistula (n = 1), in-stent pseudoaneurysm alone (n = 4) and in-stent pseudoaneurysm with arteriobiliary fistula (n = 1). Bleeding was stopped after the embolization in all patients. Overall clinical success rate was 94.7% (18/19). One patient with recurrent bleeding was successfully treated with a second embolization. Overall 30-day mortality rate was 26.3% (5/19). A major procedure-related complication was acute hepatic failure in one hilar bile duct cancer patient (5.3%), which was associated with an obliterated portal vein. CONCLUSION TAE is safe and effective for the treatment of delayed arterial bleeding after percutaneous SEMS placement for MBO. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE This study demonstrated TAE is safe and effective for arterial bleeding after SEMS placement after MBO through the largest case series so far.

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.

No evidence of improved efficacy of covered stents over uncovered stents in percutaneous palliation of malignant hilar biliary obstruction: results of a prospective randomized trial. Eur Radiol 2019; 30:175-185. [PMID: 31385047 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-019-06374-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2019] [Revised: 06/30/2019] [Accepted: 07/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether covered stents show a higher efficacy than uncovered stents in percutaneous treatment of malignant hilar biliary obstruction. METHODS Patients with obstructive jaundice caused by an unresectable hilar malignancy were included after failed endoscopic intervention in a prospective randomized trial comparing expanded polytetrafluoroethylene and fluorinated ethylene propylene (ePTFE-FEP)-covered nitinol stents with uncovered nitinol stents. Exclusion criteria were as follows: primary tumors existing more than 3 months, a biliodigestive anastomosis, previous stenting, and a Karnofsky score of less than 50. Safety, clinical success, and adjuvant chemotherapy were compared as well as occlusion rate, patency, and survival. RESULTS A total of 120 patients were included. One patient was post hoc excluded. Fourteen patients who died within 7 days and one patient without patency data were excluded from patency analysis. Serious adverse events (p = 0.4), 30-day mortality (p = 0.5), and clinical success (p = 0.8) were equivalent for both stent groups. Twenty-one out of 61 (34%) patients in the covered and 24/58 (41%) in the uncovered stent groups received adjuvant chemotherapy (p = 0.5). Occlusion rate was 54% (27/50) in the covered stent group and 57% (31/54) in the uncovered stent group (p = 0.8). Median patency was 229 days (95% CI 113-345) for covered stents and 130 days (95% CI 75-185) for uncovered stents (p = 0.1). Median survival in patients with covered stents was 79 days (95% CI 52-106) and with uncovered stents 92 days (95% CI 60-124) (p = 0.3). CONCLUSION In malignant hilar biliary obstruction, there is no evidence that ePTFE-FEP-covered stents are superior to uncovered stents in terms of safety, clinical success, adjuvant chemotherapy, patency, or survival. KEY POINTS • Percutaneous palliation of hilar biliary obstruction is feasible with both uncovered and covered stents. • Clinical success in terms of bilirubin decrease and adjuvant chemotherapy is achievable with both stents. • Thirty-day mortality is considerable when stenting is also offered to patients with a low performance status.

Abstract
CLINICAL ISSUE Percutaneous transhepatic biliary and gall bladder interventions play an important role in the diagnosis and therapy of biliary tract diseases. PERFORMANCE With technical success rates up to 99% as well as complications rates up to a maximum of 26% they showed good results. Indications were opacification of the biliary tree as well as treatment of biliary system pathologies, such as drainage and stents. ACHIEVEMENTS Interventions were used if endoscopic approaches are not possible or exploited. We describe the current state of knowledge and the range for percutaneous biliary/gall bladder interventions and give an overview of technical approaches for fundamental interventional procedures, including percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS Percutaneous transhepatic biliary and gall bladder interventions are safe and effective treatments for benign and malignant stenosis, postoperative complications and risk patients with cholecystitis.

A systematic review of the comparison of the incidence of seeding metastasis between endoscopic biliary drainage and percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage for resectable malignant biliary obstruction. World J Surg Oncol 2019; 17:116. [PMID: 31277666 PMCID: PMC6612106 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-019-1656-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2019] [Accepted: 06/20/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and aim Endoscopic biliary drainage (EBD) and percutaneous biliary drainage (PTBD) are the two main strategies of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) for resectable malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) worldwide, but which is better remains unclear. Seeding metastasis (SM) has been reported repeatedly in the recent decade, although it is rarely taken into consideration in the choice of PBD. Hence, a systematic review was badly warranted to evaluate the incidence of SM between PTBD and EBD in the preoperative treatment of MBO. Methods PubMed, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were used to identify any potentially eligible studies comparing the incidence of SM between EBD and PTBD from Nov 1990 to Mar 2018. The effect size was determined by odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Results Ten studies were enrolled in this study, including 1379 cases in the EBD group and 1085 cases in the PTBD group. Results showed that the incidence of SM in the EBD group was significantly lower than that in the PTBD group (10.5% vs. 22.0%, OR = 0.35, 95% CI 0.23~0.53). Subgroup analysis stratified by the definition of SM showed that the pooled ORs for peritoneal metastasis and tube-related SM between EBD and PTBD were 0.42 (95% CI 0.31~0.57) and 0.17 (95% CI 0.10~0.29), respectively. Subgroup analysis stratified by the location of MBO showed that the pooled ORs for the incidence of SM between EBD and PTBD for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, distal cholangiocarcinoma, and pancreatic cancer were 0.27 (95% CI 0.13~0.56), 0.32 (95% CI 0.17~0.60), and 0.27 (95% CI 0.19~0.40), respectively. Conclusion EBD should be the optimal PBD for MBO considering the SM, but it deserved further validation.

Clinical efficacy of gemcitabine and cisplatin-based transcatheter arterial chemoembolization combined with radiotherapy in hilar cholangiocarcinoma. World J Gastrointest Oncol 2019; 11:489-498. [PMID: 31236199 PMCID: PMC6580316 DOI: 10.4251/wjgo.v11.i6.489] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2019] [Revised: 05/15/2019] [Accepted: 05/29/2019] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Radical surgical resection is regarded as the best treatment for hepatic hilar cholangiocarcinoma. However, 60%-70% of patients have lost the chance of surgery at the time of diagnosis. Simple biliary stent or drainage tube placement may fail in a short time due to tumor invasion or overgrowth, bile accumulation, or biofilm formation. Effective palliative treatments to extend the effective drainage time are of great significance for improving the quality of life of patients and changing the prognosis of patients.
AIM To investigate the clinical efficacy of gemcitabine and cisplatin-based transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with radiotherapy in hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients clinically diagnosed with hilar cholangiocarcinoma from June 2014 to January 2017 at the Liaoning Provincial Cancer Hospital. Patients were evaluated by specialists, and those who were not suitable for surgery or unwilling to undergo surgery and met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. There were a total of 72 patients (34 males and 38 females) with an average age of 59.9 years (range, 40-72 years). According to percutaneous transhepatic biliary angiography and the patients’ wishes, stent implantation or biliary drainage tube implantation was used to relieve biliary obstruction. The patients were divided into either a control group or a combined treatment group according to their follow-up treatment. The control group consisted of a total of 35 patients who received simple biliary drainage tube placement and biliary stent implantation (7 patients with bilateral stents and 6 with a unilateral stent) and 22 patients receiving biliary drainage tube placement alone. The combined treatment group received TACE and extracorporeal radiotherapy after biliary drainage or biliary stent implantation and consisted of a total of 37 patients, including 21 patients receiving combined treatment after biliary stent placement (14 patients with bilateral stents and 7 with a unilateral stent) and 16 undergoing combined therapy after implanting the biliary drainage tube. In the combination treatment group, the TACE chemotherapy regimen employed gemcitabine and cisplatin, and the embolic agent was iodized oil. A particular dose was determined according to the patient's body surface area and the tumor staining indicated by DSA. In vitro radiotherapy was performed with intensity-modulated radiotherapy or three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy at an average dose of 48.3 Gy. Both groups were followed from stent implantation or drainage tube implantation until the patient quitted or died. The median length of follow-up observation was 13 mo. The differences in overall survival time and the effect of different jaundice reducing methods (single stent, double stent, or biliary drainage) on the patency time and survival time of biliary stents were compared between the two groups; the related factors affecting overall survival time were analyzed.
RESULTS The median survival time of the control group was 10.5 mo; the median survival time of patients with biliary stent implantation and those with percutaneous biliary drainage was 9.6 mo and 11.4 mo, respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference between them. The median survival time of the combined treatment group was 20.0 mo, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Among patients in the combined treatment group, the median survival time of patients who underwent biliary stent implantation and those who accepted percutaneous biliary drainage before the combination therapy was 19.5 mo and 20.1 mo, respectively, and there was no significant difference between them. In the combination treatment group, the mean time of median stent patency was 15.6 mo, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (7.0 mo; P < 0.05). The independent factors affecting survival time included age, whether to receive combination therapy, percutaneous biliary drainage tube implantation, and Bismuth-Corlette classification as type IV.
CONCLUSION Gemcitabine and cisplatin-based TACE combined with radiotherapy can prolong the survival of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Independent predictors of survival include selection of combination therapy, Bismuth-Corlette classification as type IV, selection of percutaneous biliary drainage tube implantation, and age.
