ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
Placement of a self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) across the duodenal major papilla carries a risk of duodenobiliary reflux (DBR). The suprapapillary method of stent placement may reduce DBR and improve stent patency compared with the transpapillary method. This study compared the clinical outcomes between the suprapapillary and transpapillary methods for distal malignant biliary obstruction (DMBO).METHODS:
Between January 2021 and January 2023, consecutive patients with DMBO from 6 centers in South Korea were randomly assigned to either the suprapapillary arm or transpapillary method arm in a 11 ratio. The primary outcome was the duration of stent patency, and secondary outcomes were the cause of stent dysfunction, adverse events, and overall survival rate.RESULTS:
Eighty-four patients were equally assigned to each group. The most common cause of DMBO was pancreatic cancer (50, 59.5%), followed by bile duct (20, 23.8%), gallbladder (11, 13.1%), and other cancers (3, 3.6%). Stent patency was significantly longer in the suprapapillary group (median, 369 days [interquartile range, 289-497] vs 154 days [interquartile range, 78-361]; P < .01). Development of DBR was significantly lower in the suprapapillary group (9.4% vs 40.8%, P < .01). Adverse events and overall survival rate were not significantly different between the 2 groups.CONCLUSIONS:
The placement of SEMSs using the suprapapillary method resulted in a significantly longer duration of stent patency. It is advisable to place the SEMS using the suprapapillary method in DMBO. Further studies with a larger number of patients are required to validate the benefits of the suprapapillary method. (Clinical trial registration number KCT0005572.).
