Successful Biliary Re-Cannulation and Neo-Anastomosis Creation in Complete Bile Duct Occlusion or Disruption Using a Combination of Interventional Radiology and Endoscopic Techniques: A Case Series.

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combined interventional radiology and endoscopic techniques for bile duct occlusion.
Case series analysis of six patients with complete bile duct occlusion or disruption
Use of biliary re-cannulation
Creation of neo-anastomosis
Monitoring catheter-free status of patients
Four patients achieved complete freedom from biliary catheters
Two patients are progressing toward becoming catheter-free
Indicates potential effectiveness of combined techniques for bile duct interventions

Abstract

Four of the six patients are biliary catheter free, while two of the patients are progressing toward being catheter free. Additional data from larger series and planned prospective registries should help delineate standards for outcomes and patient management.
