Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Postprocedure surgical challenges rate

    Percentage of biliary drainage technical failure and/or percentage of postprocedure acute pancreatitis.

    1 day to 24 months

Secondary Outcomes (5)

    14 days after BD

  • AE - biliary drainage

    0 to 30 days after BD

  • AE - surgery

    0 to 90 days after surgery

Study Arms (2)

ERCP with SEMS

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with deployment of a self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS). Gold standard in malignant distal biliary obstruction (MDBO) in current practice. ERCP technique: Cannulation with papillotome (advanced cannulation techniques are allowed). Sphincterotomy. Self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) deployment.

Procedure: Endoscopic biliary drainageDevice: Self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS)

EUS-CDS with LAMS-Pigtail

EXPERIMENTAL

Echoendoscopy-guided Choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDS) with deployment of a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) and axis-orienting double-pigtail plastic stent throug LAMS. EUS-CDS technique: Diagnostic EUS. Classic or free-hand with preloaded guidewire choledochoduodenostomy with LAMS. Pneumatic dilation whithin LAMS is allowed. In case of bile duct \< 15mm is mandatory the 'push' technique. Deployment of a pigtail coaxial to LAMS.

Procedure: Endoscopic biliary drainageDevice: Lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) and double-pigtail plastic stent (DPPS)

Interventions

Endoscopic biliary drainagePROCEDURE

Decompression of the bile duct by endoscopic aproach.

ERCP with SEMSEUS-CDS with LAMS-Pigtail
Self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS)DEVICE

Self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) deployment: Covering: Uncovered or Partially Covered. Non covered if gallbladder is present. Size: 10x40mm or 10x60mm or 10x80mm.

ERCP with SEMS
Lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) and double-pigtail plastic stent (DPPS)DEVICE

Lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) with coaxial double-pigtail plastic stent (DPPS) deployment: LAMS size: 6x8mm or 8x8mm. Consider 10x10mm if bile duct \> 18mm. DPPS size: 7Fr x 3-7cm.

EUS-CDS with LAMS-Pigtail

Eligibility Criteria

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Malignant distal biliary obstruction diagnosed in patient considered RESECTABLE or POTENTIALLY RESECTABLE/BORDERLINE with biliary drainage indication: i) impaired hepatic enzymes (including hyperbilirubinemia) x3 times upper the superior normal value. ii) Radiologic singns of extrahepatic bile duct obstruction with presence of retrograde dilatation, of at least 12-mm axial diameter.
  • Consensual malignancy by a bilio-pancreatic multidisciplinar committe (histological confirmation is not mandatory)
  • Patient capable of understanding and/or singning the informed consent.
  • Patient who understands the type of study and will comply with all follow-up tests throughout its duration

You may not qualify if:

  • Pregnancy or lactation.
  • Severe coagulation disorder: INR \> 1.5 non correctable with plasma administration and/or platelet count \< 50.000/mm3.
  • Distal malignant biliary strictures in patients considered directly resectable, non-surgical, unresectable, or palliative
  • Benign or uncertain etiology of biliary strictures or strictures located proximally or in close proximity to the hilum.
  • Patients with prior biliary stents or other biliary drainages (e.g., PTCD).
  • Altered intestinal anatomy due to prior surgery that prevents or hinders papillary access (e.g., gastric bypass, Billroth II, duodenal switch, Roux-en-Y).
  • Stenosis in the antral or duodenal region that prevents access to the duodenum and reaching the papilla.
  • Situations that do not allow for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (e.g., esophageal stricture).
  • Patients with functional diversity, who lack the capacity to understand the nature and potential consequences of the study, except when a legal representative is available.
  • Patients incapable of maintaining follow-up appointments (lack of adherence).
  • Lack of informed consent.
