Olympus reviewed the literature titled "covered self-expandable metallic stents versus plastic stents for endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy in patients with malignant biliary obstruction".Background/aims: covered self-expandable metallic stents (csems) have become popular for endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy with transmural stenting (eus-hgs).We compared the time to recurrent biliary obstruction (trbo), complications, and reintervention rates between eus-hgs using plastic stent (ps) and csems in patients with unresectable malignancies at multicenter institutions in japan.Methods: patients with unresectable malignant biliary obstruction who underwent eus-hgs between (b)(6) 2015 and (b)(6) 2020 at any of the six participating facilities were enrolled.Primary endpoint: trbo; secondary endpoints: rate of complications other than recurrent biliary obstruction and technical success rate of reintervention were evaluated.Results: ps and csems were used for eus-hgs in 109 and 43 patients, respectively.The trbo was significantly longer in the csems group than in the ps group (646 vs.202 days).Multivariate analysis identified two independent factors associated with a favorable trbo: combined eus-guided antegrade stenting with eus-hgs and the use of csems.No significant difference was observed in the rate of complications other than recurrent biliary obstruction between the two groups.The technical success rate of reintervention was 85.7% for ps and 100% for csems (p=0.309).Conclusions: csems might be a better option for eus-hgs in patients with unresectable malignancies, given the longer trbo.Type of adverse events/number of patients: bile leakage (7) bleeding (4) peritonitis (5) pancreatitis (1) liver abscess (2) medistinal emphysema (1) ulcer (1) septic shock (4) stent migration (2) death (unknown).Pancreatitis occurred in one patient and was managed successfully by conservative treatment.Liver abscess in the left lobe was identified in two patients, which necessitated abscess drainage and prolonged hospitalization.However, both patients recovered and were discharged.Mediastinal emphysema occurred in one patient.The only symptom of mediastinal emphysema that the patient presented with was chest pain, which was manageable with analgesic and antibiotic therapy.With this conservative therapy, a follow-up ct performed 10 days after the eus-hgs procedure showed disappearance of mediastinal emphysema.Asymptomatic stent migration to the gastric side was incidentally observed in two patients.However, no treatment was required because neither patient revealed any abnormal laboratory findings.
