About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Obstructive Jaundice focused on measuring pancreatic cancer, obstructive jaundice, Obstructive jaundice secondary to pancreatic cancer

Eligibility Criteria

19 Years - 85 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with pancreatic cancer and mass in the head of pancreas causing jaundice.
  • Patients 19 yrs of age and older
  • Serum bilirubin > 2mg/dl
  • CT: No evidence of distant metastasis or local vascular invasion (tumor surrounding portal or mesenteric vessels for more than 180 degrees of their circumference or an irregular vessel margin).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Karnofsky score < 60
  • Prior (ERCP or PTC) attempts at biliary decompression for the same indication
  • Tumor-related gastric outlet obstruction (vomiting and oral intake of < 1L/day)
  • Ongoing or planned neoadjuvant therapy
  • Cholangitis at presentation or coagulopathy needing reversal medication
  • Post-surgical anatomy
  • Multiple extra-hepatic biliary strictures or concomitant stricture in liver hilum
  • Failed ERCP's (Definition: Inability to deploy a biliary stent thereby requiring a PTC or surgery).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Covered self expandable metal stents (CSEMS) are three times larger in diameter than 10 Fr plastic stents. When compared to plastic stents, randomized trials have shown longer patency and fewer stent-related complications for CSEMS. The investigators hypothesize that placement of CSEMS would be a better treatment option for preoperative biliary decompression in patients with pancreatic cancer.
Detailed Description
Covered self expandable metal stents (CSEMS) are three times larger in diameter than 10 Fr plastic stents. When compared to plastic stents, randomized trials have shown longer patency and fewer stent-related complications for CSEMS. The investigators hypothesize that placement of CSEMS would be a better treatment option for preoperative biliary decompression in patients with pancreatic cancer as there will be better drainage of the obstructed biliary system with fewer adverse events.
