Brief Summary

Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a group of disorders that can present early in life with cholestasis and intractable pruritus. Their treatment poses a great challenge, with medical treatment is not successful in many cases. Moreover, the available non-transplant surgeries carry many side effects and different degrees of efficacy. Partial external biliary diversion, internal biliary diversion, and ileal exclusion still lack widespread experience with many side effects. Nasobiliary stent placement has little tolerability, especially in younger age. Gastrobiliary tube is a novel modality for external biliary diversion in such patients.

Study Arms (2)

Gastrostomy-biliary tube

EXPERIMENTAL

The study group will be subjected to gastrostomy followed by ERCP with nasobiliary stent placement in the CBD with its distal end been exit from the previously performed gastrostomy instead of the nostril

Device: Gastostomy-biliary tube

Other biliary diversion modalities

EXPERIMENTAL

The control group will include those cases with other modalities of therapy as external biliary diversion, internal biliary diversion, and nasobiliary tube

Device: External biliary diversion, internal biliary diversion and nasobiliary tube

Interventions

gastrostomy followed by ERCP with nasobiliary stent placement in the CBD with its distal end been exit from the previously performed gastrostomy instead of the nostril

Gastrostomy-biliary tube

All biliary diversion modalities other than gastrobiliary tube

Other biliary diversion modalities
