Prophylactic Endoscopic Ultrasound Gallbladder Drainage (EUS-GBD) in Patients With Unresectable Malignant Biliary Obstruction and Cystic Duct Orifice Involvement.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating EUS-guided gallbladder drainage and Non EUS-guided gallbladder drainage for Acute Cholecystitis. Completed, enrolled 22 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
to determine if primary prophylaxis with Endoscopic Ultrasound-Gallbladder Drainage (EUS-GBD) in unresectable cancer patients with the orifice of the cystic duct (OCD) involvement is superior to conservative management (Non EUS-guided gallbladder drainage).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
During ERCP evaluation a self-expandable metallic stent will be deployed in the common biliary duct of the patients enrolled in both arms of the present study. A prophylaxis gallbladder drainage will be done using a 3.8 mm working-channel linear-array therapeutic echoendoscope (EG3870UTK;Pentax, Hamburg, Germany) attached to an ultrasound console (Avius Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan) within a transgastric and/or transduodenal approaches to the gallbladder puncture followed by placement of a lumen apposing stent (LAMS) (AXIOS; Xlumena Inc, CA, USA) with a 10 mm luminal diameter and a dumbbell-shaped flanges to bring together the 2 walls in apposition. These feature of the Axios decrease the risk for bile leak, stent migration, and stent occlusion.
During ERCP evaluation a self-expandable metallic stent will be deployed in the common biliary duct of the patients enrolled in both arms of the present study. If the patient had an acute cholecystitis will be sent to surgery and be considered as a Non EUS-guided gallbladder drainage
