Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To discuss advances in intrahepatic and intrabiliary stent application and evaluate their biocompatibility.METHODS: A computer-based online search of CNKI between 1989 and 2009 was performed to search related articles with the keywords of "bile duct, hepatic duct, stent, treatment". A total of 51 articles were searched and 20 were included according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The articles were summarized from aspects of treatment advances in intrahepatic and intrabiliary stent application and prevention of obstruction following intrahepatic and intrabiliary stenting; the clinical application of intrahepatic and intrabiliary stent, biocompatibility and prevention of stent obstruction were discussed.RESULTS: Intrabiliary stent mainly includes metal stent and plastic stent. The metal stent is superior over plastic stent in preventing bacteria and keeping stent patency, but its cost is large. The plastic stent is easy for bacteria attachment and stent obstruction, but it is simple to change the stent and the cost is low. Intrabiliary stent implantation is the best method to treat malignant obstruction of bile duct with few complications. Intrahepatic stent in combination with various radiotherapies can prolong effective patent time of the stent and effectively prevent stent obstruction. CONCLUSION: Intrabiliary stent implantation is the most effective clinical method to treat malignant obstruction of bile duct.However, the biocompatibility of various intrabiliary stents should be improved. Intrahepatic stent in combination with radiotherapies can prevent stent obstruction.
