ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of treating malignant biliary obstruction by expandable metallic biliary endoprosthesis(EMBE) via percutaneous transhepatic approach companied with stereotactic radiotherapy(SRT). Methods We implanted total 19 stents via percutaneous transhepatic in 15 patients with malignant biliary obstuction, then the patients received stereotactic radiotherapy.Results The stent implanting in 15 cases was successful,and followed-up for 12 months .3 cases died in the third,fourth and eleventh month respectively without jaundice,others survied formore than one year.The survival rate for one year was 80%.Conclusion Implanting stent in bile ducts companied with stereotactic radiotherapy is an effective way in treating malignant biliary obstruction.
