Low symptomatic premature stent occlusion of multiple plastic stents for benign biliary strictures: comparing standard and prolonged stent change intervals
چکیده انگلیسی

BackgroundBenign biliary strictures are typically managed endoscopically whereby an increasing size or number of plastic stents is placed at ERCP. Stents are often changed every 3 to 4 months based on the known median patency of a single biliary stent, but patency data for multiple biliary stents are lacking.ObjectiveTo assess the incidence of occlusion-free survival of multiple plastic biliary stents and the rate of premature occlusion if left in longer than 6 months.DesignRetrospective.SettingTertiary-care medical center (Charleston, SC).PatientsConsecutive patients who received multiple plastic stents for benign nonhilar biliary strictures from 1994 to 2008 were identified.InterventionsExchange of multiple plastic biliary stents within 6 months (group 1) or 6 months or longer (group 2) after placement.Main Outcome MeasurementsSymptomatic stent occlusion.ResultsSeventy-nine patients with nonhilar extrahepatic benign biliary stricture underwent 125 ERCPs with multiple plastic biliary stents. Stents were scheduled for removal/exchange within 6 months in 52 patients (86 ERCPs) compared with after 6 months in 22 patients (26 ERCPs). The median interval between multiple stent placement and removal/exchange was 90 days for group 1 and 242 days for group 2. Premature stent occlusion occurred in 4 of 52 (7.7%) patients in group 1 versus 1 of 22 (4.5%) in group 2, with significantly longer occlusion-free survival in group 2 (log-rank P < .0001).LimitationsRetrospective study at a single tertiary referral center.ConclusionMultiple plastic biliary stents for benign nonhilar strictures were associated with a low rate of premature symptomatic stent occlusion at more than 6 months and a longer occlusion-free survival.
