Endoscopic Biliary Drainage in Malignant High Grade Biliary Stricture
Malignant Biliary Stricture
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Malignant Biliary Stricture focused on measuring ERCP, Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided biliary drainage
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: I) Patients aged > 18 years. II) Clinical, laboratory data, imaging and or histology suggestive of malignant distal bile duct strictures that occurs as a result of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, ampullary carcinoma, duodenal carcinoma, gallbladder cancer and metastasis malignant bile duct obstruction III) Inoperability by tumor staging, medically unfit or patient wishes
- distant metastasis
- major vascular involvement (unreconstructible Superior mesenteric vein/Portal vein, superior mesenteric artery, common hepatic artery and celiac artery)
- metastasis to lymphnode beyond the field or surgery IV) Jaundice, total bilirubin ≥15 mg/dl and/ or Common bile duct diameter ≥12 mm
Exclusion Criteria: I) pregnancy II) uncorrectable coagulopathy ( international normalized ratio ≥ 1.5 ) III) thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 50,000 ) IV) extremely poor general condition, ERCP with stent insertion impossible for ethical reasons V) an extension of stricture to the main biliary confluent (hilum) or the existence of obstructive duodenal invasion VI) active suppurative cholangitis VI) surgically altered anatomy (i.e. Billroth II or Roux-en-Y reconstruction ) VII ) previous treatment with bile duct stent.
