PG - 8489-8497 LID - 10.1007/s00464-023-10457-4 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: Bilateral self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement for unresectable malignant hilar biliary obstruction (UMHBO) is an effective option for biliary drainage with long-term stent patency. Laser-cut and braided SEMS can be used for bilateral SEMS placement. This study aimed to clarify any differences in the clinical features and proper use of the laser-cut and braided SEMS placement using the stent-in-stent method for UMHBO. METHODS: In this study, 78 patients who underwent bilateral stent-in-stent SEMS placement for UMHBO were included. The patients were divided into the laser-cut (n = 33) and braided groups (n = 45). Both groups were compared for technical and clinical success, adverse events (AEs), time to recurrent biliary obstruction (TRBO), overall survival, and endoscopic reintervention (ERI). RESULTS: There were no significant differences in technical and clinical success rates (laser-cut vs. braided group, 97% vs. 95.6%, P = 1.0), AEs (21.2% vs. 15.6%. P = 0.56), median TRBO (242 days vs. 140 days, P = 0.36), and median overall survival (654 days vs. 675 days, P = 0.58). ERI was required in 15 patients in the laser-cut group and in 20 patients in the braided group. The technical and clinical success rates of ERI (60% vs. 85%) were not significantly different (P = 0.13); however, the median ERI procedure time was significantly longer in the laser-cut group (38 min) than in the braided group (22 min; P = 0.02). CONCLUSION: No significant difference in initial SEMS placement was noted between the laser-cut and braided groups; however, the laser-cut group required a longer ERI procedure time than that required by the braided group. The use of braided SEMS may be a convenient option for ERI. CI - (c) 2023. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
