Clinical Outcomes of EUS-guided Biliary Drainage Using Partially or Fully Covered Metallic Stents...

CholestasisExtrahepatic

Although endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is almost always successful in patients with malignant biliary obstruction, selective biliary cannulation fails in some cases and conventional ERCP may not be possible in patients with tumor invasion of the duodenum or major papilla, surgically altered anatomy (e.g., Roux-en-Y anastomosis), or complex hilar biliary strictures. In such cases, percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) is an useful alternative. However, PTBD had various complications and the presence of an external drainage catheter would also have a cosmetic problem related to the external drainage and an adverse impact on quality of life (QOL) of terminally ill patients. Since endoscopic ultrasound-guided bile duct puncture was described in 1996, sporadic case reports of EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) suggested that it was a feasible and effective alternative in patients with failed conventional ERCP stenting. The potential benefits of EUS-BD include one-stage procedure in ERCP unit, and internal drainage for avoiding long-term external drainage in cases where external PTBD drainage catheters cannot be internalized, thus significantly improving the QOL of terminally ill patients, and possibly lower morbidity than PTBD or surgery. Up to date, only a few case series of EUS-BD with small numbers of patients have been published, and known the feasibility and safety in terms of the incidence of procedure-related clinical outcomes.

Open Label Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Long Term Safety of LUM001 (Maralixibat) in the Treatment...

Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC)

This is an open label study in children with Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC) designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LUM001, also known as Maralixibat (MRX). Efficacy will be assessed by evaluating the effect of LUM001 on pruritus and the biochemical markers of pruritus associated with PFIC.

Randomized Study of Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid in Prophylactic Therapy of Total Parenteral Nutrition...

Cholestasis

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine whether infants treated with tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) have a lower peak direct bilirubin, ALT, AST, glutamyltranspeptidase levels and a reduced duration of cholestasis compared to the nontreatment arm. II. Determine the significance of lower birth weight and longer duration of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) on increasing risk of TPN associated cholestasis and increasing benefit from TUDCA therapy. III. Determine whether TUDCA therapy leads to significant reduction in the appearance of biliary tract sludge and/or stone formation in these infants. IV. Determine whether TUDCA therapy leads to reduced urinary excretion of potentially hepatotoxic bile acids as compared to the untreated arm matched for birth weight and duration of TPN.

Effectiveness of Multicomponent Lipid Emulsion in Preterm Infants Requiring Parenteral Nutrition...

Cholestasis

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of a multicomponent lipid emulsion containing 30% soybean oil, 30% medium-chain triglycerides, 25% olive oil, and 15% fish oil with a conventional pure soybean oil lipid emulsion on the incidence of neonatal cholestasis, infant growth, infant morbidity and the biochemical assessment of liver enzymes.

Impact of Cyclic Prolonged Parenteral Nutrition in Neonates

Cholestasis in Newborn

The aim of our study is to compare the incidence of PNAC in newborns receiving cyclic versus continuous parenteral nutrition (PN) in those newborns who need prolonged PN. The secondary aims are to compare incidence of sepsis and catheter related sepsis, mean length of hospital stay, mortality, nutritional status at two years of chronological age and predisposing factors to the development of parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis (PNAC) between the two groups, and to evaluate the adverse effects of the method of cycling used. This was a single-center, prospective randomized not blinded study was conducted in a level 3 neonatal intensive care unit from July 2010 to January 2015. Infants with hemodynamic instability until a stable situation, congenital hepatic disease, preterm infants with diagnosis of respiratory distress syndrome or persistent ductus arteriosus and lack of authorization from the parents or guardians were excluded.
