Percutaneous Transhepatic Self-expanding Metallic Stent Placement for the Treatment of Malignant Afferent Loop Obstruction

چکیده
We report the case of a 71-year-old man with afferent loop obstruction (ALO) after Roux-en-Y reconstruction due to gastric cancer. Computed tomography showed a distended afferent loop and a dilatated bile duct. We could not reach the stricture site in the afferent loop using a gastroscope. We performed percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) and placed a self-expanding metallic stent (SEMS) in the duodenal stricture through the PTBD route. Although an endoscopic approach is preferable, when PTBD can be performed, percutaneous transhepatic SEMS placement might be an alternative option for treating ALO in cases in which it is not possible to reach the site of stenosis with an endoscope.

INTRODUCTION Malignant afferent loop obstruction following pancreaticoduodenectomy is a rare complication and may be fatal if suppurative cholangitis or obstructive jaundice develops. Effective and safe therapeutic strategies for malignant afferent loop obstruction following pancreaticoduodenectomy are scarce at present.

Placement of endoscopic self-expandable metallic stents (SEMSs) is widely performed for malignant gastrointestinal obstructions as an effective palliative procedure. However, because only one report exists on SEMS placement at the bifurcation of a surgically reconstructed intestine, the safety and efficacy of the procedure have not been elucidated. We present a case of double SEMS placement at ...

PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of fluoroscopy-guided gastroduodenal metallic stent placement with different approaches in malignant obstruction. METHODS We retrospectively assessed 53 patients (33 men and 20 women; mean age, 58.7±15 years) who underwent stent placement between February 2004 and April 2014. All patients had unresectable tumors. The most common causes...

His total bilirubin level was 2.0mg/dL (range 0.3–1.2mg/dL) and alkaline phosphatase was 270 U/L (range 39–117 U/L). Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen showedmarked dilatation of the afferent limb and a suspected recurre...
