Diagnosis of malignant biliary strictures

Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2002
It is important to determine the benign or malignant nature of a biliary stricture, and a tissue diagnosis is usually desirable. This article discusses methods for diagnosis of malignant biliary strictures, including bile cytology, biliary brush cytology, intraductal forceps biopsy, needle aspiration, scraping devices, and endoscopic ultrasound-guided ...

Stenting for Benign and Malignant Biliary Strictures

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2019
Benign and malignant biliary strictures are common indications for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Diagnosis involves high-quality cross-sectional imaging and cholangiography with various endoscopic sampling techniques. Treatment options include placement of plastic biliary stents and self-expanding metal stents, which differ in patency

Clinicopathological Features of Benign Biliary Strictures Masquerading as Biliary Malignancy

The American Surgeon™, 2012
Discrimination between benign and malignant biliary strictures is difficult, with 5.2 to 24.5 per cent of biliary strictures proving to be benign after histological examination of the resected specimen. This study aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological features of benign biliary strictures in patients undergoing resection for presumed biliary ...

Management of Malignant Biliary Strictures

1997
Diagnosis of obstructive jaundice has improved recently with magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) to show the precise site of the obstruction (SOTO et al. 1996). In papillary carcinoma, both the common bile duct (CBD) and the pancreatic duct are enlarged down to their distal part (Fig.

Endoscopic management of benign and malignant biliary strictures

The American Journal of Surgery, 1996
It is now possible to manage most extrahepatic bile duct strictures, benign or malignant, using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with endoscopic dilatation and stenting.Over a 5-year period we treated 218 patients with strictures of extrahepatic bile ducts. Eighty-six patients had benign biliary stricture.

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography for Distal Malignant Biliary Stricture

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2012
Endoscopic biliary stent placement is widely accepted as palliation for malignant biliary obstruction or as a treatment of benign biliary stricture. Although various biliary stent designs have become available since self-expandable metallic stents were introduced, no single ideal stent has been developed. An ideal stent should be patent until death, or

Percutaneous self-expandable metallic stents and malignant biliary strictures

European Journal of Surgical Oncology (EJSO), 1997
Thirty-five patients with malignant obstructive jaundice received palliative treatment using percutaneous self-expandable metallic stents. Cholangiocarcinoma was the most frequent cause of the biliary obstruction. In more than 50% of cases, the stricture was located in the hilum. Adequate biliary drainage was achieved in 97% of cases.

Photodynamic therapy of malignant biliary strictures using meso-tetrahydroxyphenylchlorin

European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2007
The palliation of patients with malignant bile duct obstruction using metal or plastic biliary stents may be limited by stent occlusion. The aim of this study was to determine the safety and efficacy of endoscopically delivered meso-tetrahydroxyphenyl chlorin photodynamic therapy in the treatment of irresectable malignant biliary strictures and ...

Malignant biliary strictures: covered or uncovered stents?

2015
Abstract The vast majority of cases of malignant jaundice are due to a non-operable tumour. Palliation is of paramount importance for the quality of life of such patients. Stents have an established role in the palliation of malignant biliary disease, aiming for drainage of bile towards the duodenum and the resolution of jaundice.
