Abstract:
Usually the survival period of patients with duodenal obstruction caused by inoperable advanced pancreatic cancer is rather short. For such patients, minimally invasive treatment should be employed as the first choice. This paper reported a case with advanced pancreatic cancer complicated by biliary and duodenal obstruction. After implantation of biliary stent, the obstructive jaundice was relieved. Because of the insufficient cardiac function, the patient was not able to tolerate gastrojejuostomy; besides, as both DSA-guided stent implantation and endoscopic nutrition tube placement failed to success, implantation of nutrition tube via the trans-hepatic and biliary route, as a novel tube placement technique, had to be carried out, and the result in this case was satisfactory.
