Background Management of biliary adverse events (BAEs) after biliodigestive anastomosis is challenging. We propose a new endoscopic approach to improve BAEs in this clinical setting. Methods Patients who had BAEs after a hepaticojejunostomy with Roux-en-Y loop or a Whipple procedure underwent creation of an entero-enteral endoscopic bypass (EEEB) between the duodenal/gastric wall and the biliary jejunal loop under endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and fluoroscopic guidance using specifically designed fully covered self-expandable metal stents.

Abstract
Background Management of biliary adverse events (BAEs) after biliodigestive anastomosis is challenging. We propose a new endoscopic approach to improve BAEs in this clinical setting. Methods Patients who had BAEs after a hepaticojejunostomy with Roux-en-Y loop or a Whipple procedure underwent creation of an entero-enteral endoscopic bypass (EEEB) between the duodenal/gastric wall and the biliary jejunal loop under endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and fluoroscopic guidance using specifically designed fully covered self-expandable metal stents. Results 32 consecutive patients underwent EEEB, which was successful in all but one patient. One procedural and five long-term mild adverse events occurred. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) through the EEEB successfully treated all types of BAEs in these patients. Disease recurred in two patients who were successfully re-treated through the EEEB. Conclusions Our retrospective study showed that in patients with BAEs after biliodigestive anastomosis, EEEB is safe, feasible, and allows a successful long-term treatment of different BAEs in a tertiary referral center with high-level experience in both endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and EUS.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
