Abstract:
Objective To analyze the clinical and pathological factors which can influence the occurrence of the recurrent occlusion of metallic stents in patients with malignant biliary obstruction. Methods The clinical data of 50 patients with malignant biliary obstruction, who suffered repeated metallic stents obstruction and were admitted to authors" hospital during the period of March 2006-September 2008, were retrospectively analyzed. Of 50 patients, liver carcinoma was diagnosed in 12, pancreatic carcinoma in 17 and carcinoma of bile duct in 21. The relevant factors which might bear a relation to the occurrence of repeated metallic stents obstruction were evaluated. Results Single factor analysis of variance indicated that the denomination of carcinoma, clinical stage of carcinoma, location of obstruction, whether infection being accompanied or not, and the anti-tumor therapy after biliary stenting treatment were the significant factors closely linked to the occurrence of repeated metallic stents obstruction in patients with malignant biliary obstruction, Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that clinical stage of carcinoma, location of obstruction and whether infection being accompanied or not were the important factors that determined the occurrence of repeated metallic stents obstruction. Conclusion Clinical stage of carcinoma, location of obstruction and whether infection being accompanied or not are important reference factors for judging the occurrence of occlusion of metallic stents in malignant biliary obstruction.
