ABSTRACT

Introduction:

most of patients with biliary tract cancer are diagnosed at an advanced stage. EUS-guided biliary drainage (EBD) is an alternative to percutaneous transhepatic or surgical drainage techniques after failure at conventional access by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

Objectives:

to evaluate EBD efficacy and safety in patients with malignant biliary obstruction at the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Department from Hospital das Clínicas of São Paulo University.

Methods:

there were included in our study patients that had a clinical history of obstructive jaundice and failure at biliary drainage by ERCP. EBD was performed under radioscopic control. The efficacy was analyzed according to clinical outcome and improvement in quality of life after the procedure, which was assessed by the application of a quality of life measurement test, and an evaluation of laboratory tests, signs, symptoms and procedure-related complications.

Results:

from April 2010 to September 2011, 32 patients with advanced biliary tract cancer were included in our study. Three (9.4%) patients had technical failure at EBD procedure. Technical success was achieved in 90.6% (29/32) and clinical improvement occurred in 100% (29/29). EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy was the most common drainage procedure (58.62%). Duodenal self-expandable metallic stents were placed in 7 (21.85%) cases. There were a significant ecrease in bilirubin levels (p <0.001) and patients had improvement in quality of life after the procedure (p < 0.05). Complications occurred in 6 (18.75%) patients and the median survival was 90 days.

Conclusion:

EBD was an effective and safe procedure with acceptable complication rates, providing significant improvement in quality of life.
RESUMO

Introdução:

a maioria dos pacientes com câncer biliar é diagnosticada em estágio avançado. A drenagem biliar ecoguiada é uma alternativa à drenagem percutânea e à cirurgia derivativa.

Objetivos:

avaliar a eficácia e a segurança do método em pacientes com necessidade de drenagem biliar e falha da CPRE prévia.

Método:

foram incluídos pacientes com obstrução biliar maligna e falha do acesso por CPRE convencional. A eficácia foi avaliada pelo sucesso clínico e pela avaliação da qualidade de vida. Avaliação laboratorial e clínica foram estudadas e computadas por teste estatístico.

Resultados:

entre abril e setembro, 32 pacientes foram incluídos no protocolo. Em três verificou-se insucesso do acesso ecoguiado. O sucesso técnico ocorreu em 90,6% (29/32) e o sucesso clínico em 100% dos casos. Coledocoduodenostomia ocorreu em 58,6% e foi o acesso mais frequente da casuística apresentada. A melhora da bilirrubina em 7 dias foi significante (p <0,001) e a qualidade de vida foi melhor no seguimento de 30 dias (p <0,05). Complicações ocorreram em 6 (18,75%) e sobrevida média foi de 90 dias.

Conclusões:

a drenagem biliar ecoguiada é uma ferramenta importante na falha da CPRE prévia e com índices de complicações aceitáveis.
