Olympus reviewed the following literature titled " short and long outcomes of endoscopic bilateral metal stent placement for malignant hilar biliary obstruction: tertiary care oncology centre experience." literature summary a retrospective study assessed the short and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing self-expanding metal stents (sems) and bilateral self-expanding metal stents (sems) placement for complex hilar blocks.A total of 43 patients were included with a mean age of 54.9 years with 51.2% of females.Median charlson comorbidity index was 7 with 21 (48.8%) having underlying comorbidities, indicating a suspected 10-year survival rate of 0.01%.Technical success was 95.3% of patients and functional success was 95.1% of patients.On cholangiogram, 26 (60.4%) had bismuth type ii block, 12 (27.8%) had type iiia/b, and 5 (11.6%) had type iv block.One patient had delayed resolution of jaundice after stent placement and in another patient, mortality occurred within 30 days, which precluded the assessment of functional success.Normalization of bilirubin occurred in 35 patients who further received tumor-directed therapy.Complications were managed conservatively.The median hospitalization days were five days (2¿31 days) and the median stent patency was 137 days (8¿790 days).The median overall survival was 153 days.Thus, the study concluded that endoscopic bilateral sems in complex malignant hilar obstruction has good outcomes in the form of technical success, functional success, and stent patency.Complications included post ercp pancreatitis in 6/43 (13.9%) patients, cholangitis was seen in 3/43 (6.9%) patients and post procedure hypertension in one patient (2.32%).Pancreatitis was mild in all cases.All complications were managed conservatively.Post-procedure 30-day mortality was seen in one patient due to pulmonary thromboembolism.Post-procedure hospitalization days was median five days (2¿31 days).Median stent patency was 137 days (range 8¿790 days, iqr 80¿214 days).Delayed re-intervention in the form of either ercp or ptbd for stent block was required in 4/43 patients (9.3%) after mean 295.7 days.Of those who needed reintervention, two patients had type ii block and two had type iii/iv block.No difference was seen in stent patency between those having type ii block or more advanced block (iii/iv) (p = 0.90).Median survival in our cohort was 153 days (range 8¿870 days; iqr 108¿234 days).Type of adverse events/number of patients: death (1, related to a pulmonary thromboembolism within 30 days of the procedure), death (42, median survival was 153 days (range 8¿870 days).This literature article requires 6 reports.The related patient identifiers are as follows: -(b)(6) (tjf-150) for all adverse events, -(b)(6) (tjf-q180v) for all adverse events, -(b)(6) (kd-v411m-0720) for all adverse events, -(b)(6) (tjf-150) for all deaths, -(b)(6) (tjf-q180v) for all deaths, -(b)(6) (kd-v411m-0720) for all deaths.This medical device report is for patient identifier (b)(6).There is no report of any olympus device malfunction in any procedure described in this study.
