(b)(6) 2023 - utility of bilateral intraductal plastic stent for malignant hilar biliary obstruction compared with bilateral self-expandable metal stent: a propensity score¿matched cohort analysis.Bilateral transpapillary stent placement was performed using a standard duodenoscope (tjf-200, jf-240, jf-260v, or tjf-260v; olympus medical systems, tokyo, japan).After cholangiography, a guidewire (.025-inch visiglide2 [olympus medical system system],.025-inch endoselector [boston scientific japan, tokyo, japan]; or.025-inch m-throughtm [asahi intecc, aichi, japan]) was inserted into the intrahepatic bile duct (ihbd).Patients underwent endoscopic sphincterotomy (es) after placing the guidewire on the opposite side of the ihbd, if necessary.Bilateral sems placement was performed by 1 of 2 methods, the ¿stent-in-stent¿ (sis) and ¿side-by-side¿ (sbs) techniques.In the sis placementmethod, the first uncovered sems was deployed across the confluence on 1 side of the ihbd.The guidewire was accessed on the opposite side of the ihbd through the first sems mesh, and the second uncovered sems was deployed through the first sems (fig.1b).Because this was a retrospective study, the various types of sems used for sis placement were as follows: niti-s large cell d-type biliary stent (teawoong, seoul, korea), bonastent m-hilar (standard sci-tech, seoul, korea), hilzo stent (bcm co, ltd, gyeonggi-do, south korea), bilerush (piolax medical devices, yokohama, japan), zilver 635 stent (cook medical, bloomington, ind, usa), zeo stent (zeon medical inc, tokyo, japan), and jostent selfx stent (abbott- vascular devices, temecula, calif, usa).For sbs placement, the 2 uncovered sems delivery catheters were inserted into the bilateral ihbds, and both semss were placed (fig.1c).The sems types used for sbs placement were bilerush, zilver 635 stent, and hanarostent (mi tech, seoul, korea).The semss were divided into braided (niti-s, nonastent, hilzo, andhanarostent) and laser-cut (bilerush, zilver, zeo, and jostent) types.All sems diameters were 8 or 10mm.The lengths of the iss and semsswere determined by the main operators, considering the malignant biliary obstruction (mbo) length and distal common bile duct.5 cases of cholecystitis cases were successfully managed with percutaneous drainage.Temporary enbd placement: was performed in in 12 cases (63%) in the sems group.Patient outcome: require intervention/additional procedures s=4.
