Abstract:
Objective To determine the clinical efficacy and safety of domestic biliary metallic stents in the management of biliary obstruction. Methods 75 domestic biliary metallic stents were implanted in 66 of 72 patients with obstructive jaundice due to malignant (n=70) and benign stenoses (n=2). Results The technical successful rate was 92.7% (64/66). Palliation with rid of jaundice was achieved in 96.9% (64/66) within 1 month. The 30-day mortality rate was 3% (2/66). Early complications occurred in 7.6% (5/66). 44 patients were followed from 2 to 24 months after treatment. 33 (33/42) of 42 patients with malignancy died after a median survival of 5.3 months (range 2-23 months). The remaining 9 patients (9/42) remained alive with a mean follow-up of 11.6 months. The stent patency rates were 92.8%,89.9% and 79.4% at 3,6,12 months respectively. 6 patients (6/42) presented stent occlusion within a median period of 3 months. One of two patients with benign stenoses sustained a patency duration time of 24 months. One patient died 3 months after treatment. Conclusions The domestic biliary metallic stent implantation is efficacy and safety in the management of biliary obstruction.
